[DX] Robben Island AF-064 Activation

[Andrew Roos]

Robben Island is listed amongst the top 500 most wanted IOTA groups in
the latest IOTA Directory. There have been several fairly low-key
operations in recent years, mainly on SSB only. The team, consisting of
Phil/G3SWH, David/G3UNA, Vidi/ZS1EL, Kosie/ZS1SR, Malcolm/ZS1MC and 
Andrew/ZS1AN, has been allocated the special callsign ZS1RBN.

Additionally, the lighthouse on the island counts as SAF023 for the 
Amateur Radio Lighthouse Service (ARLHS).

The team plans to activate the island between April 4-7th, and,
propagation permitting, have two stations on the air on a 24 hours a day
basis. One station will operate SSB and one will operate CW on all bands
40-10 meters. QSLs will be handled by G3SWH, either direct to his CBA
with SAE and return postage or via the RSGB bureau.
