Broadcast Announcements / BBC Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast on June 21 2015
« on: June 10, 2015, 1619 UTC »
Sunday, 21 June 2015: British Antarctic Survey Annual Mid-winter Broadcast via BBC World Service to BAS staff in Antarctica on midwinter's day in Antarctica. (The schedule in 2014 was is 2130-2200 UTC on 5875-Woofferton UK, 5985-Dhabbaya (UAE), 7350-Ascension). BBC Woofferton issued an eQSL last year.
Last year a "test transmission' for the impending British Antarctic Survey (BAS) broadcast occurred from 21.30 to 22.45 UTC on on 5 frequencies.
The actual broadcast was on 3 of those frequencies. I'm guessing they will do the same this year: test a week before.
The British Antarctic Survey is the UK’s national Antarctic operator, and has for the past 60 years been responsible for most of the UK’s scientific research in the Antarctica. Based in Cambridge, UK, BAS operates four research stations throughout the year in the Antarctic, including Bird Island, South Georgia; King Edward Point, Cumberland Bay, South Georgia; Rothera, Adelaide Island; and Halley, Coats Land.
I will update the times and frequencies as soon as they become available.
