ZS8M – Marion IslandMonday Feb 08, 2010
- UPDATE: February 8, 2010
Pierre has confirmed he will be taking dipole antennas to Marion Island. This is mainly due to the severe winds which often occur on Marion, and to prevent birds from flying into a larger antenna structure. There is a possibility Pierre may take an amplifier too, however his weight restriction for the entire year on ZS8 is 100kg. Updates expected beginning March once Pierre’s training is in motion. A ZS8M website will be available soon.

Marion Island is #3 most wanted DXCC in 2009 according to DX Magazine.
