Final update before the team departs for Robben Island tomorrow,
Friday 18 August 2017:
as previously announced, the team ran into some unexpected complications with the expedition.
As a result the operation has been scaled down to two SSB-only stations.
The operators will be Jan ZS1VDV, Paul ZS1V, Andre ZS1AN and Grant ZS1REX.
The team leaves for Robben Island late Friday afternoon and expects to have both stations operational during the course of the evening – hopefully by 1800Z.
One station will primarily operate on the 20/15/10 meter bands
and the other primarily on 80/40 meters.
Operations will continue until Sunday morning around 1000Z, weather permitting.
Intended frequencies of operation are:
80m 3780kHz 40m 7180kHz 20m 14260kHz 15m 21260kHz 10m 28460kHz +- QRM.
