The radio activity of LU1ZV has as primary objective to remember the 40th anniversary of the beginning of the transmission of the radio station LRA 36 “Arcángel San Gabriel” of the Esperanza Base, the first shortwave station in AM across Antarctica, … We speak with space physicist and electrical engineer Nathaniel Frissell about this Antarctic Christmas Carol tradition and his use of shortwave radio for community science. No doubt, this is testament to the power of combining a low noise environment, a capable shortwave receiver, and a longwire on a salt ground.As the DX/SWL community knows, LRA-36 Radio Arcangel San Gabriel in Antarctica Argentina My listening began at around 1253 UTC when I was surprised to find the broadcast already in progress, though the time was originally set for 1300-1415 UTC. I sent a tweet to someone in Ant., but I don’t think he responded.Do you know anything about this topic.

The Shortwave Radio Audio Archive is a collection of shortwave radio recordings in both the form of a podcast and blog with embedded audio. I tried to go in your chatroom but it didn’t work for me.Thank you for your question, Delmar. Participation will be from stations scattered throughout the Antarctic continent.“The radios and antenna systems are optimized for on-continent communication, so we will be lucky to hear them in other parts of the world, but it has happened in the past,” said Nathaniel Frissell, W2NAF, who is handling QSL requests and who has participated as part of the chorus in past years while studying in Antarctica.

Because the Paradinho, Brazil Kiwi site was full I tuned to one of two Iceland-based SDRs at 1253 to find an Argentine song often used by the station in progress, then sign on announcements, including what sounded like English greetings to listeners, followed by a program that consisted mostly of two female announcers in conversation, punctuated by occasional drop-ins by a male announcer with ID’s and sending “abrazos” (embraces/hugs) to listeners.At 1400 UTC, there was a period of CW ID followed by some more discussion until about 1415 when they went into straight music.

Thank you, Dan for sharing your recording.I also made a recording remotely via my home SDR while travelling this weekend. I know that DXing from the polar regions presents a unique set of challenges in terms of propagation, but it certainly wouldn’t stop me from taking a radio!I’m Giuseppe Morlè from Formia, Italy, on the Tyrrhenian Sea … I had the pleasure of listening to the transmission of LRA36 Base Esperanza Antartida Argentina on 15,476 MHz on 21 September 2019 at 14.01 UTC.I used a 25 meter wire, on the ground, with salt water resistance in a SSW direction that I have been using for years … similar to a “beverage on salt ground”.I made the following video of the broadcast on my YouTube channel:Wow! DigitalGlobe/ScapeWare3d/Getty Images Shortwave Radio Used For Antarctic Christmas Caroling : Short Wave On Christmas Eve, scientists at field stations across Antarctica sing carols to one another...via shortwave. Programming actually lasted through 1430 when I tuned away — the transmitter was not on when I checked at noon EDT, but the station said they intended to repeat the special program later in the day. What follows is a rough English translation of the press release. Family members of the Antarctica expeditioners could visit any ABC studio and record a message for their relations working at the Australian bases. The BBC Antarctica winter solstice broadcast will take place on June 21, 2020 at 2130-2200 UTC.. The amateur radio station activity adapts to the general schedule of the base and of LRA36, so activation times are reduced to a few hours during the evening – night.The Head of Hope Base, Lieutenant Colonel Norman Walter Nahueltripay was present during some contacts and received greetings from radio correspondents.This special activation also includes the project “Uniendo Voces” of the National University of Quilmes (UNQ) of the province of Buenos Aires, an initiative that included areas of interest to amateur radio and Antarctic activations, and which was presented to the“Uniendo Voces” has participated in these radio activations since 2013 (in Marambio Base and Matienzo) to which the historical emission from Base Esperanza is now added, within the framework of a special initiative called “DX Radial Expedition Uniting Voices”.The amateur Radio Claudio García (LU1VC) member of the LRA 57 Radio Nacional de ElAntarctic bases are licensed by amateur radio stations, and like all the activity, is regulated by the National Communications Agency (ENACOM). In addition, this activity seeks to maintain the continuity of emission of stations of radio amateurs from Antarctica.The LU1ZV activation has registered more than 900 contacts with amateur radio stationsAmong the most relevant data that LU1ZV activity exhibits so far are the distant radio contacts  (despite the low emission power) as in the case of Japan, Canada, Latvia, Ukraine and Finland among others.
