<P>Before last weekend there had been a report by Mehdi, F5PFP, indicating that
he has talked to Petrus, ZS6GCM (3Y0E), via the Bouvet Island satellite phone
and was told Petrus is currently unable to transmit due to a problem with his
transceiver.<BR><BR>However, on December 30th, Petrus 3Y0E and Rhynhardt ZS6DXB
had a conversation via satellite phone. Petrus was happy to confirm that the
radio and antenna are working.<BR><BR>He made a couple of contacts on December
30th with some ZS and PY stations. Rhynhardt ZS6DXB and Petrus 3Y0E will be
trying a new strategy to get 3Y0E into pileups. 3Y0E will, until further notice,
be calling <STRONG><FONT size=4>CQ between 1600-1730z on 14200 kHz
only</FONT></STRONG>.<BR><BR>3Y0E will work simplex until Petrus gets more
acquainted with the radio equipment. Please note that no pre-arranged skeds
"contacts" can be arranged with 3Y0E. Petrus is still having some E-mail
problems, and as soon as they are resolved, they will publish the 3Y0E logbook
on the 3Y0E Web site.<BR><BR>There has been a number of false cluster reports
over the last couple of days and they urge anybody that hears Petrus 3Y0E
calling CQ to record him and forward the recording to:
zs6dxb@kats.za.net<BR><BR>The official 3Y0E operation Web page address is: <A
