Carel Oberholzer, ZS3OBE, of Hamnet Northern Cape says they are potentially in need of assistance to provide communication support Communications to Springbok - the nearest urban hub - is problematic and Hamnet has been requested to assist.
He says "The situation is fluid at this stage and our response is in the preparation phase. We need operators to assist in providing communications between Springbok and Kleinzee, a distance of about 80 km. The operation is expected to last for the next two to three weeks and we envisage deploying two person teams on a rotational basis to man a relay point on a mountain/high point somewhere in between.
"If you can assist you will need to have a four wheel drive, VHF capability and be self-sustained in terms of food, water, shelter, power and warm clothing."
Paul, ZS1PVS, indicated they can issue field masts, radios, antennas and feed lines from the HAMNET Western Cape store.
Call Carel at 082 805 0181 or Paul at 083 302 3366 to offer your assistance.
