UPDATE:

Some bad news unfortunately: Martin G3ZAY has been forced to cancel his onward journey from Cape Town to Tristan. Rob M0VFC will still continue, and be active as ZD9UW. This means that it’s now a single operator activation, and will concentrate primarily on SSB with some RTTY. LINK

G3ZAY and M0VFC have secured places on the “Baltic Trader” travelling to Tristan da Cunha on 20th September from Cape Town. They expect to have about 7 days on the island from 27th September though this could be curtailed by bad weather. They do not expect to have time to cover all bands, and probably will not operate on 1.8 or 50MHz. Both will operate as ZD9UW.

Logs will be uploaded to ClubLog and LoTW shortly after the operation (or during, if an Internet connection is available), and cards will be handled by OQRS, direct to M0VFC, or via email bureau requests.
