Currently is Petrus ZS6GCM on Bouvet Island operating as 3Y/ZS6GCM. He will stay there probably for the next three months. Having only recently arrived on Bouvet, he could just have quickly set up a radio equipment and worked already few stations to check conditions. He have a vertical antenna for 10, 15, 20 and 40m, but no amplifier. Being newly licensed Petrus has no experience of pile-ups. Activity will be during spare time only.
On the Norwegian Sub Antarctic island of Bouvet is an automatic weather station established by the Norwegians sited on the Nyr?ysa in 1977. A temporary five-man station was established the following year, superseded by another automatic weather station which continues to operate. Bouvet?ya became a Nature Reserve in 1971.
