[NEWS UPDATE] – Winds are expected strong tomorrow on Crozet, therefore Thierry will take the G5RV antenna down later this afternoon (his local time). Therefore, no operation during his night tonight, all day tomorrow, and all next night on 20/30m. He thinks he can leave the vertical antenna up, and this one only works on upper bands. Depending on WX, he MIGHT, I insist MIGHT try some activity on upper bands, but after 10h GMT in any case. (thanks F6EXV)

[Mise à Jour] – Des vents forts sont attendus demain sur Crozet, donc Thierry démontera l’antenne G5RV plus tard cet après-midi (son heure locale ). Donc pas d’opération pendant sa nuit ce soir, toute la journée demain, et toute la nuit prochaine sur 20/30m. Il pense qu’il peut laisser l’antenne verticale en place, et celle-ci ne fonctionne que sur les bandes supérieures. En fonction de WX, il POURRAIT, j’insiste POURRAIT essayer une activité sur les bandes supérieures, mais après 10h GMT dans tous les cas. (merci F6EXV)

As of November 2022 Petrel became once again a permanent Base. A team of 18 is still there to carry out the necessary works to restore the infrastructure throughout the year. Another goal is to build a 1800 meters main runway and a secondary 1300 meters secondary runway where the Hercules C130 or smaller aircraft can operate.
