CTARC Lighthouse Weekend - 24 Aug '97

We received this QSL card from John ZS1AGH who, while operating ZS1WTC with Ron ZS1RON, confirmed a QSO with Pieter ZS1PDT at Slangkop Lighthouse. The date was 24 August 1997 and the time was 12h36 UTC, on the 40m band.

This must surely be one of the earliest Lighthouse Weekend contacts in Cape Town!

CTARC Ragchew - Jan 1996

CTARC Ragchew - Oct 1974

Here is something from deep in our archives: A Ragchew newsletter of October 1974.

In those days there was none of this fancy DTP nonsense nor e-mail. The newsletter was produced on a typewriter, pasted up and photocopied in black and white. Then distributed by snail-mail... Thanks to Paul / ZS1S for sending this on.
