International Sister Heather Holland ZS6VE
Heather-ZS6VE from Johannesburg, South Africa is a lady of adventure and is active in many facets of ham radio. To say that Amateur Radio is important to Heather ( known as "Eda" to her friends), is truly an understatement....in fact it is probably safe to say that Heather owes her life to ham radio.
As this article is being written, Heather is Maritime Mobile under sail off the coast of Brazil aboard the Sy-Alkiri. Sailing is just one of Heathers adventerous activities....one which has found Heather and crewmate Jess Hawes-ZS6YOT staring death in the eyes on more than one occassion.
Twice while sailing the vessel Dalkiri the duo have had to turn to ham radio to be rescued at sea. Plucked from the ocean between Brazil and Africa.
