On Sunday, 21 June 2020, the BBC World Service officially transmitted the 2020 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<\/em> organized by continent and country\/region.<\/p>\n

Did I miss your recording?<\/h2>\n

Putting this post together takes almost a full dedicated day sorting recordings, uploading, and formatting them for the Post.<\/em> Many readers posted a link to their recording on Facebook, Twitter, or even in the comments section on previous posts. I tried to hunt down these links, but if I\u2019ve somehow missed including your entry, please\u00a0send me an email with details and a link to your recording<\/a><\/em>; I\u2019ll amend this post.<\/p>\n

So, without further ado please enjoy the following recordings:<\/p>\n

Here are a couple of samples from the 2020 BBC Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast, both on 5790 kHz, the first one at 21:53 UTC, the second one at 21:59 UTC.
\nMy receiver is a JRC-NRD 535 with an AOR LA400 loop antenna and I used a Roland Edirol R-09 recorder.<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BBCMW_2159UTC.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\nhttps:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BBCMW_2153UTC.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

My location is Aarhus, Denmark. Best reception from here was on 5790 kHz followed by 7360 kHz (weaker signal and a bit background noise) while 9580 kHz was barely audible.<\/p>\n

I really enjoy reading your articles, reviews, etc. in both your website and blog. thank you very much!<\/p>\n
