Halley VI: The British Antarctic Survey’s new base (Source: BBC)
Every year, the BBC broadcasts a special program to the 41 scientists and support staff in the British Antarctic Survey Team.
The BBC will play music requests and send special messages to the team who winter over in this isolated post. The broadcast is guaranteed to be quirky, nostalgic and certainly DX worth catching. Click here to listen to the 2013 broadcast.
The winter program will air today, June 21, 2014 at 21:30 UTC on the following frequencies:
- 7,350 kHz; Ascension; 207°
- 9,890 kHz; Woofferton; 182°
- 5,985 kHz; Dhabayya; 203°
- 5,875 kHz; Wooferton; 184° (updated)
Readers: If you have a chance, try to record the broadcast as I’m uncertain if I’ll have a chance to catch it this year. I would like a good recording for the Shortwave Radio Audio Archive.
Many thanks!
