I found this project yesterday, and I  think it is awesome!

I plan to set up a station in Campinas-Brazil (90km from São Paulo and ~500km from Rio)..

I was concerned to be an lonely station there, but this topic helped to discover a station in Rio !

If the new stations become plug n play, it will be sweet. I currently live in Europe, I hope to set the station in December/January during my vacations there...
Thats great !

We discovering a new continent Smile

In actuality, there were (are) Columbia SA stations which were Green System Pioneers, if you will... Smile

Currently combined with North America (Region 3)
913 Rio de Janeiro, Copacabana (first red operator...) (Cedric)
939 Rio de Janeiro, Fundão UFRJ (same operator as 913) (Cedric)
935 Atalaya (Damian2)  Colombia (Damien)

Several in Columbia waiting for Blue (??) including,
840 RED (went dead, if memory serves, and waiting for Blue) (Damien)
665 Cúcuta  Colombia Offline (Green) (Carlos)
669 Barranquilla  Colombia  Offline (Green) --- likely defunct...
913, 939, 935, 665 added as shown in first post of this thread.

840 & 669 are offline Sad

Wonderful news ! Smile
Hi Knickohr,

Well, if I do get a "Blue" board from Egon in the next batch of 100 there will be a station in Falkland Islands quite a bit further South than New Zealand.

Cheers

Perfect, west coast of Africa.

By the way, what happens with station in Uganga ? I've never seen it since months.

Following a "work enforced break" I'm finally starting to get my System Blue up and running.
I will be building a couple of "H" antennas and a suitably weather proof "E" antenna.
Then exporting to Falkland Islands, somewhat further South than New Zealand!
Not too much lightning in FI should be interesting though.

Hoping to get my Falkland Island Blue station up and running this year.
Will build and test a couple of "H" antenna also a weatherproof "E"
antenna. Then ship to Falkland Islands.

FI, a tad further South than New Zealand.

Any news about the southern african stations?  Huh
My station in Namibia (#1305) is hit by lightning Sad

The network (connector or IC) is blown and station will be down until next year in June if I come back to Namibia. A lot of things in my observatory are blown.

Thomas
Hi Thomas, That is really sad.
About twenty years ago my ham radio station suffered from a near by strike and even that caused a lot of damage and ruined several normal domestic appliances too!
We really do need to get more stations in the southern hemisphere and I wonder what could be done to achieve this?
My sympathies.

Brian.
Brian I'd love to put one in NZ - but there never seem to be kits available
