OM3JW). Both of them live and work in Juba. Jim will be back home

on being highly active, and will be on just about everyday". For
the time being, he can use Diya's station.
ZD9 - Weather permitting, Martin G3ZAY and Rob M0VFC should arrive on
Tristan da Cunha [425DXN 1113] around 27 September, and be active
as ZD9UW until 4 October. Their main goal is "to allow as many
people as possible to get ZD9 in their log at least once, rather
than concentrating on those aiming to work us on multiple slots".
They expect to be QRV on 80-10 metres CW (Martin) and SSB (Rob),
with some RTTY if time and pile-ups permit. There's unlikely to be
time for 160m operation ("we can probably give more people the
chance to work us on the higher bands"), but they will have a
small 6m antenna and will be operational if the band is reasonably
open. QSL via OQRS on Club Log (for both direct and bureau cards);
traditional direct cards should be sent to M0VFC. Further
information, including how to help the Tristan da Cunha
Educational Trust Fund and receive a direct QSL card from the
island, can be found at www.zd9uw.org.uk. [TNX G3ZAY]
