New Ukrainian HAM Forum

 Please check out the new interesting Ukrainian forum dedicated to various topics of HAM radio. Special attention is being given to gathering of supplemental information about HAM activity on HF, VHF, UHF bands and to hardware and software radio amateur solutions there. The language of the forum is Ukrainian, which is very important, I think, taking into account lack of Ukrainian-language DX resources and domination of russian-language crap in Internet.

Christmas Carols to be Broadcast on HF from Antarctica

A program of Christmas carols will be broadcast from Antarctica on Christmas Eve. The transmissions on 7995 kHz USB will begin on December 23 at 2300 UTC, coordinated by McMurdo Communications Operations (MacOps) — known as “The Voice of Antarctica.”

Each year, the station’s residents celebrate the holiday by singing Christmas Carols to those at remote Antarctic field camps. Participation will be from stations scattered throughout the Antarctic continent.

“The radios and antenna systems are optimized for on-continent communication, so we will be lucky to hear them in other parts of the world, but it has happened in the past,” said Nathaniel Frissell, W2NAF, who is handling QSL requests and who has participated as part of the chorus in past years while studying in Antarctica. Frissell shared some links of previous concerts, one recorded at McMurdo Station and one from the University of Twente WebSDR in the Netherlands.
