Guys,
Antarctica popped in my head this afternoon and so I thought I have a wee look round to see what interesting videos and articles were around. I wasn't disappointed and here are some of the links I liked:
1. Antarctica Sun: Ham Radio Back in the Day
This is a fantastic story of how a young ham radio operator (and his brother(s)) helped to keep the navy persennel located in Antarctica back in touch with their families and loved ones via phone patch. All done with having great dedication and a big antenna for his day :)
2. Hamradio from the Antarctica area
This is a video presentation of various QSL cards, Sound recording and other bits and pieces from DXpeditions from the Antarctica area. Its well done and well worth a look.
3. VP8SSI Dxpedition 1992 Story
This video story documents what condition DXpedition groups are willing to put themselves in / through. I love the snow, blizzards, but in the confort of a bloody good shelter and a good heat source :)
4. Australian Antarctica Communications 1911-1985
A great insight / read of the introduction of VLF / HF and SAT comms to link Antarctica back to Australia.
5. Amateur Radio Call Signs of Antarctica
As the name suggests, list of call signs allocated to countries / dxpeditions when operating on or near antarctica.
I'm still looking though a few other articles, but these definitely had an impact on me :)
Take care All
Mark
