[OKDXA] Marion Island - ZS8

[Bert Aaron]

The following from the ZS8T website: http://zs8t.net/

March 26, 2008 - Destination: Marion Island.

Within the past few minutes, Press Officer ZS6DXB has informed the team that
Petrus ZS6GCM is onboard the SA Agulhas (South Africa's polar research
vessel). The vessel will be going straight to Marion Island.

Depending on weather, Petrus could be on Marion in as short as five days.
However, should the weather deteoriate, there is a fair chance landing on
ZS8 could be delayed. The support team will keep you updated as best we can
on this. You may like to join us by following the progress of the SA Agulhas

We'd like to remind you that once Petrus is on ZS8, it will take approx
three to four weeks before any radio equipment is used. This is due to a
changeover time in working patterns and general settling in on the island.
