Antarctic BBC Mid Winter Broadcast Monday June 21
« on: June 18, 2021, 1347 UTC »
This column was in the Shortwave Central blog. I have picked up this the homey, quirky broadcast meant for Antarctic Britons for a number of years in a row and posted on HFU. It is a celebration for those working at the bottom of the world that their days are getting longer and the sun is returning - "Here Comes the Sun" has been played many years.   Terrestrial radio reception is out for me being on the left coast but it appears it will even be streamed this year.   Enjoy! 🌞

Thanks CT Yankee, I forgot about this. I've listened the past 3 or 4 years and usually record and replay on 43m. Always a good program!
