He's a scientist that will be on Marion I. for a year, right?

I doubt that going on the air is the #1 priority , but the website says this:

Petrus plans to start construction of the antennas soon and will be
QRV as ZS8T by the middle of May.

Just be patient and watch out for fakes (as per the website) ... of
course, WFWL, but it seems like the jokers are using the  uncertain
start time to their advantage.  The only ZS8T spot in my SpotCollector
record or on DX Summit is a 15m CW spot and as far as I know Petrus
doesn't do CW.

This isn't an ordinary DXpedition so I wouldn't expect a big entry
onto the bands all of a sudden.  Keep your beams on ZS8 and keep your
ears open ;-)

73,
Dan
