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).
