Ek wil van die geleentheid gebruik maak om vir OK Christi ZS4CGR te bedank vir die beskikbaarstelling van die klank opname en ook die manier hoe hy praktiese inligting met ons deel. Nie 'n klop teoretiese retoriek nie maar inligting wat verstaanbaar is ook vir beginners. Ek is seker dat julle sal saamstem dat hierdie opname baie nuttige inligting bevat.
Due to various reasons requests, load shedding, summer time schedule, late working on weekdays, getting late at home during the week and other commitments etc. by listeners, I have decided to move the ZS1I Ramblings transmissions from a Thursday evening back to a Sunday afternoon with effect of 19 November 2023. ZS1I Ramblings will in future be transmitted every Sunday afternoon at 16h00 SAST. Please note that there will be no re-broadcast or the option to download the podcast from the GRHub Network Blog. More information why I discontinued the downloading available HERE.
I know we cannot satisfy everybody but the move will also give me more time to compile ZS1I Ramblings during the week. It is very difficult to work on the Podcast over a weekend due to other amateur- and private activities.
The ZS1I Ramblings will continue as before on the air. I would however like to request that if at all possible listen to ZS1I Ramblings on the air. (ZS Link Network / GRHub Network) Use your radios instead of social media or any other media.
Remember the ZS1I Ramblings now being broadcast every Sunday afternoon at 16h00 SAST.
