BBC Annual Mid Winter Antartic Broadcast 12065 AM 2129 UTC 21 JUN 2025
« on: June 21, 2025, 2131 UTC »
English service, good reception with noise/fades.  Only frequency of four (5960, 9575, 12065, and 13810) received here. Annual broadcast to Antarctic research team to mark shortest day celebration , welcoming back the sun.  Generally consists of homespun greetings from immediate family members and music (frequently a solar related theme).

Difficult to copy - too much interference from local solar charge/controllers - 41343

5960 kHz had severe UTE interference
9575 kHz best reception with least interference
12065 & 13810 kHz had severe interference from neighbors solar panel charge controllers

2150 - yl talking
2153 - someone celebrating a birthday
2159 -music playing
2200 - gone
