I heard him a total of three times, once on the very top edge of 20m and
then twice lower down. It seems he was on a 24 hour net frequency in the
USA and the net controllers took exception to their frequency being used
for |DX-ing. The rows went on long after ZS8T had left the frequency.
The frequency would seem to belong to the net somehow, poor Petrus was
unaware, like me of the situation. After those rows I never heard him again.

I truly wonder if Petrus will ever know just how many people donated
time, money and equipment to make his operation a success. On the
other hand, I am sure the pile-ups would have daunted even an
experienced DXer, let alone a new and experienced ham like Petrus.
If anyone could be blamed for the shortfall, I think it would be those
who inflated the expectations of the DX community without knowing
whether Petrus would be up to the task. In many ways I feel sorry for
him and the legacy that will always follow him.
