BBC test transmission for annual Mid-Winter TX 9455/7360 2136 utc 14 Jun 2019

Excellent reception...test transmissions on these frequencies for next Friday's Mid-Winter Antartica broadcast due to be on until 2145.  The annual 21 Jun broadcast is one not to be missed - a homespun, quirky, musical letter from loved ones back in the UK to their missed relatives in Antartica.

2136 BBC story on Guam airmen
2145 Off
