An enormous amount of work went on behind the scenes to ensure ZS8T has good and adequate radio equipment to take with him to Marion Island. The team are delighted to list below the equipment being used on Marion. All sponsors, which we are eternally grateful to, can be found on site.

Furthermore, with Petrus deciding to use RTTY and possibly PSK, we believe this to be the first time ever that digimodes will be used on Marion Island.
