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

On Thursday, 21 June 2018, the\u00a0BBC World Service\u00a0officially transmitted the\u00a02018 BBC Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast<\/strong>\u2013an international radio broadcast intended for a small group of scientists, technicians, and support staff who work for the\u00a0British Antarctic Survey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is one of my favorite annual broadcasts, and I endeavor to listen\u00a0every year<\/a>. Once again, the\u00a0SWLing Post<\/em>\u00a0called upon readers to make a short recording of the broadcast from their locale.<\/p>\n

Below are the entries, roughly organized by continent and country\/region. We had a total of 28 recordings submitted this year–simply amazing! If I\u2019ve somehow missed including your entry,\u00a0please\u00a0contact me<\/a><\/em>; I\u2019ll amend this post.<\/p>\n

So, without further ado\u2026.<\/p>\n

\nNotes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Preperations with my 6y old son \u2013 highly professional with clip board, frequency setting on equipment, adjusting the antenna tuner. setting the alarm clock and preparing cups for warm drinks.<\/p>\n

Wonderful broadcast with heaps of feelings and good music \u2013 I reckon the crew in Antarctica enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

I used to listen with my dad to Norddeich Radio \u2013 also broadcast for crews and sailors out on sea.<\/p>\n
