Thanks for the information. I expect that propagation should be much of a
problem from here of course, so I should hear something eventually! (Have to
keep my ears open!)

I have a lot of good memories of monitoring the Antarctic activity around 20
years ago when 8998 was used.

I can remember hearing a helo on the ice at South Pole station.

I always enjoy trying to chase the activity down there.

Hmm,

I've been listening to 9032 since last Friday (Oct 1, McMurdo Centre's
opening day, or thereabouts, usually). Came back into the shack having
been
outside for a while and just missed the end of a transmission, so no ID.

The loggings you mention at 2320UTC, I was having lunch!

I received an email from John and he mentioned the use of 11256 by Mac
Centre
also for flights south of 60 (degrees).

Propagation here not so good, I was not able to hear McMurdo itself.

====================================

Not sure what flight(s) this might be connected with but I heard

McMurdo Sound at 2320 on 9032.

Then heard WAL9975 calling McMurdo at 2327.
