I'm pretty sure DP1POL was active on TB in 2010. I worked him on 80, 40 and
30m and seem to remember he had 100w on TB?

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.
