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...

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

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.

My station in Namibia (#1305) is hit by lightning
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.

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.
