"Another hoax"

People love gossiping rising up excitement before things may happen.
But such situations may lead to misunderstandings and certainly –
learning some wrong information. We just experienced another hoax that hit ZS8-preparations.

The team of 3Y0E has been alarmed today some unconfirmed news of
unknown origin are hitting some top dx bulletins with details of next
Petrus' activity from ZS8 – Marion Island. Remembering recent problems caused by sharing unconfirmed news regarding 3Y0E activity bringing dx chasers to misunderstanding, we would like to clarify that we cannot take any responsibility for any gossips and hoax news spreading across the world.

*****We suggest all dx news and bulletins publishers to verify any
news regarding ongoing preparations and further arrangements of
ZS8-activity received with us before publishing them to avoid sharing
incorrect news again. Avoid hoaxes, please…. ****

We would like to clarify that Petrus Kritzinger ex 3Y0E, currently
ZS6GMC/mm is set as a team leader for another shift of scientific team going to Marion Island for 1 year. The arrangements for his activity from ZS8 are in progress now. Currently we try to collect some equipment for Petrus to make his ZS8 activity more complex, delivering another most wanted DXCC entity you at high level.

We would like to ask once more for being aware of publishing wrong
news regarding this operation. A brand new, ZS8-dedicated site is
under construction now. Its web address will be published soon and
more news regarding any further activity of Petrus will be announced
right there.

On behalf of the team…
