You have me excited for a moment as I need Antarctica on 160. I have already
worked South Orkney, South Shetland, Falklands, Bouvet and Peter I on TB but
for some reason Antarctica has just not been there for me even though there
are always active hams there. Maybe I worked some other operation there
years ago but never entered the call as a new one....but there must be some
operation on TB from Antarctica....like I mean just tie some insulated wire
on a snow cat and lay it on the snow.
Drive north for a half a mile.....and put in a 600 ohm non inductive
resistor and drive another 135 feet for a Beverage self termination without
a ground connection and you should be able to hear everything that comes on
the band from NA during the long periods of darkness when they go into real
winter.
