Halley VI: The British Antarctic Survey’s new base (Source: BBC)<\/p><\/div>\n

Babcock has tests today, June 14, at 2130-2145, to Antarctica on 5985 (Woofferton), 6035 (Dhabayya), 7360 (Ascension), and 9720 (Woofferton).<\/p>\n

I think we can assume three of these frequencies will be used for the annual mid-winter transmission to Antarctica on June 21 at 2130-2200.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I will attempt to receive the tests broadcasts\u00a0today here in Qu\u00e9bec; it will give me an indication if I stand a chance of reception next week.<\/p>\n

I would appreciate any recordings of the test broadcast to add to the Shortwave Radio Audio Archive.<\/p>\n

As Dan mentions above, next week, Tuesday, June 21, the BBC Antarctic Midwinter broadcast will take place once again. \u00a0This is one of my favorite shortwave events of the year. \u00a0Like last year<\/a>, I hope we receive\u00a0recordings of the on air event from across the globe!<\/p>\n
