[Luciano]

Hello ERNIE: ZS64RI was a real one operation accepetd by RSGB for 
Af-064. See below

425News.285  13.01.96
   - From afternoon UTC of 26 January to morning UTC of 29  January Barry
          (ZS1FJ,  active in the past as ZL8/G4MFW and VR6AB), Dennis 
(ZS1AU),
          Maurice (ZS1ESC), Frank (ZS1CM) and Al  (ZS1JC) will activate 
Robben
          Island (AF-064). Operations from 10 to 80 meters (WARC 
included) and
          on 6 meters  in SSB, CW, RTTY  and via satellite.  The call  
will be
          ZS64RI.  QSL  via  KA1JC: Phyllis  Davis,  5282 Boyle Terrace, 
Port
          Charlotte, FL 33981.

ZS1FJ and ZS1AU are listed in the qrz.com with e-mail addresses. KA1JC 
qrz.com does not include e-mail info and he is not in the address 
provided by the 425News 1996 edition. I sugest you to write ZS1FJ and 
ZS1AU. I hope this will work for you.
