I sailed as G0CAJ/MM from July 2010 to March 2011and was rescued mid-South Atlantic when the forestay broke

and we could not pull down the furling sail. The deck-stepped mast became unstable.

Acompletely new radio station went down whichwas going to be used on the SA Maritime Mobile Net.

I have been QRV again as ZS1AFS since April 2011 whilst working my WAS on 20m, for the second time.

I was using the call ZT1T to mark the rescue and first Christmas back in ZS,from a week before Christmas.

There is only one ZT1 call in South Africa! This is a brand new prefix. Thanks to all who made ZT1T a success.

The final total, when thecallsign was put back in the box on 12th Night,was 103 countries and all 50 US states.

ZT1T will be on air at some future date. If there is demand, PSK31 could be a mode of communication.

The first batch of ZT1T cards have beensent out. There are no outstanding cards as of 15 February 2012.

ZT1T WILL BE ON AIR DURING APRIL 2012 CELEBRATING ONE YEAR FROM OUR RETURN TO SOUTH AFRICA.

IT IS PLANNED TO HAVE 2 RIGS OPERATING SIMULTANEOUSLY AND ONE SHOULD BE WORKING PSK31.

UpdateFebruary 2012:WAS 20metres:States outstanding for 20m are Idaho, Louisiana, Nebraska Vermont and Wisconsin.

All have been promised but nothing yet.

All of my previous US cards were lost when I abandoned my yacht.

Anyone who sent ZS1AFS a WAS 15m card, please can you re-send? I will respond 100% to anyone who is so kind.

New contacts should include 2 green stamps with their qsl card.

Due to the recent volume of incoming cards I will not be able to respond tocards that arrive with insufficient, or no,postage

And do not have previously arranged agreement.

Several cards for ZT1T have arrived without. I will hold them for a short period.

I have several cards sent to 20m contacts still outstanding for my 20m WAS.

I can be contacted whilst operating on my email address.

I would like to thank the numerous operators who have responded to my request

Thank you in advance. de Tom
