BBC Test for Mid-Winter Antarctic Broadcast 14 June 2130 utc
« on: June 14, 2022, 1128 UTC »
The annual broadcast on June 21 to Antarctica is preceded by a week (June 14) for testing to facilitate the homey, quirky transmission to those working at the bottom of the world.  This article appeared in SWLing blog.  If you have never heard it, it's worth at least a one time listen on June 21.

There was excellent reception on 12065 here, hope that bodes well for June 21.

I had 12065 here too, not very strong but perfectly copyable.
