Every year, the BBC broadcasts a special program to the scientists and support staff in the British Antarctic Survey Team<\/a>.\u00a0The BBC plays\u00a0music requests and sends special messages to the small team of 40+ located at various Antarctic research stations.\u00a0Each year, the thirty minute show is guaranteed to be quirky, nostalgic, and certainly a DX-worthy catch!<\/p>\n

Regular SWLing Post<\/em> readers know that I’m a huge fan<\/a> of the Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast (and without fail, it falls on my birthday each year!).<\/p>\n

Hit the record button!<\/h2>\n

This year, I’m calling on all SWLing Post<\/em> readers and shortwave radio listeners to make a short recording (say, 30-60 seconds) of the show and share it\u00a0here at the Post.<\/p>\n

The recording can be audio-only, or even a video taken from any recording device or smart phone. It would be\u00a0helpful\u00a0to have a description and\/or photo of your listening environment and location, if possible.<\/p>\n

If you submit your recording to me, I will post it here on the SWLing Post–<\/em>and insure that the BBC World Service receives\u00a0the post, too. \u00a0The recordings will be arranged by geographic location.<\/p>\n

Are you in?<\/h2>\n

If you’re interested in participating, mark your calendars for June 21st! \u00a0I’ll post updates and frequencies about the Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast here on the SWLing Post.<\/em> Please follow the tag:\u00a0Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast<\/a>…and get ready\u00a0for some cool solstice fun!<\/p>\n
