Hello Folks, I am Happy to join this group! I am still abit new to
digital modes. Working mostly in PSK-31 and RTTY. I was wondering if
anyone is using the VQ Log program? That is my main logging program
and I would like to set up a database (mdb file) ( or is that a watch
list as I've seen written here on the group page?) on it for DMC. Has
anyone already done this? I have not seen this on the group page so I
thought I would ask. Please let me know. Then I can pass it along to
the programmer of VQ Log so that he can post on his website. I'm sure
that would spike some more interest. Thanks for your help and I look
forward to working you on the bands!

Hallo John,
I received that e-mail. Sorry I do not understand.
Probably belong elsewhere. 73 from Ladislav OM1ZL

Hello Kevin
Welcome to the group mate .
Unfortunately nobody has made watchlist for VQ log
I am not familiar with this program and haven't got any
idea is it possible to use watchlist with this software.
Let's hope someone else who use this program can
help us with more information.
Best wishes and 73's

Thanks to John AI4FR, Nino IW8PQ, and Emil LZ3HI for the personal
welcomes and kind words. I can only hope to work you all sometime
digitally ;) so we can cement our new friendships! Also a Big Thanks
to Laurie VK3AMA who wrote to me off the list. Who provided a very
nice welcome with an answer to my quiry! It seems that my problem was
already being worked on by Laurie! Already in the works was .mdb files
for EPC, DMC, 070, and FH for VQ Log and they should be ready Today!
Now how's that for timing! They will be posted on the website
http://www.vk3ama.com/watchlists.php . So I guess I have run into a
group of Movers! Well I hope I can keep up and contribute something to
the group. My fulltime job is as a career Firefighter/EMT. A far cry
from the electronics classes I took back in high school ;) But I do
have the eagerness to learn new stuff and there's always something new
to learn. I am currently gaining more knowledge about alternative
energy sources. It might even become a part time/new job some day.
Anyway, Thanks again for the welcome and I look forward to seeing you
on the waterfall.

Following the fairy tale of 3Y0E Bouvet Island, Petrus Kritzinger ZS6GCM
sets out to yet another unique amateur radio venture that many DX'ers around
the world can only dream about. Petrus will be QRV from Marion Island #6 on
the DX Magazine 2007 Most Wanted List as ZS8T. ZS8T is expected to be QRV by
May 2008 dependent on work load.

Building on the success of the 3Y0E Bouvet Island operation, Petrus wanted
to take his amateur radio activity to the next level. Having more time to
effectively plan the operation from Marion Island as ZS8T work began to set
a team together that could rise above the high standards that were set
during the 3Y0E Bouvet Island operation.

The ZS8T team consists of the following people:

Press Officer/Logistical Support - Rhy ZS6DXB
Finance/Logistical Support - Don N1DG
Finance Support - Tom N4XP
QSL manager - Emil LZ3HI
Website construction - Christian DL6KAC
Website construction - Col MM0NDX
ZS8T.net's design + graphics - Stan SQ8X

One of the first tasks was to start work on a website that could take
DX'pedition websites to a new standard. Chris DL6KAC, Col MM0NDX and Stan
SQ8X really stood up to the challenge and created an interactive website
that will change the future of DX'pedition websites. The team has built in a
unique news cluster into the site that you can subscribe to that will enable
you to receive all the latest news from the team behind ZS8T direct. Please
register to the website on the following link: http://zs8t.net/newsletter/

The second challenge was to obtain better radio gear that was used during
3Y0E.

The ZS8T team is proud to announce the following principle sponsors to the
ZS8T operation; these principal sponsors were strategic in getting the
hardware needed for ZS8T. Without these sponsors ZS8T would never off made
it out of the harbor...

ICOM America donated an IC7000
Spiderbeam donated a 5 band HD yagi
NCDXF donated funds to obtain an Ameritron AL80 Amplifier, with a SteppIR
Vertical.
Tigertronics donated a Signalink USB digital interface
Mr. Emil LZ3HI at Gold Print Services donated all QSL cards and QSL
management services
INDEXA, GDXF, GMDX, EUDXF, Chiltern DX Club, Clipperton DX Club, 5B4WN.com,
David Topp W5BXX, Mile Hi DXA, Aurum Telemedia, Funkamateur, Passau DX Club,
Danish DX Group, DXXE and EUDXF made financial donations to offset costs.
Donations from kind individuals during 3Y0E, we are pleased to announce some
of that money helped offset the cost of radio equipment now being used on
Marion Island. It also greatly assisted with shipping costs to South Africa.

The team behind ZS8T would like to thank each and every organization and
individual that has contributed to date in making the operation a full
success.

Petrus ZS6GCM has also undergone extensive training and will be active on
the following bands 160, 80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 12 and 10 meters. He will be
active on the following modes: SSB, CW and RTTY. A detailed timetable with
frequencies and modes will be made available closer to the QRV date. Petrus
will also be communicating with Rhy ZS6DXB on a regular basis, and you can
expect regular updates with photos and even the possibility of videos from
the Island as the year progresses. ZS8T will be uploaded to LOTW on
completion of the operation.

Without any further ado please join us on a life changing journey to Marion
Island, official website address: http://zs8t.net

Within ZS8T.net you will find an abundance of information, discussions,
images/movies and enough viewing to entice you into working Petrus. The
entire ZS8T Team would be delighted if you joined us in following Petrus by
subscribing to the RSS-feed at http://zs8t.net/feed/ or our ZS8T-newsletter
