** ANTARCTICA. Chris, N3SIG, informs OPDX that he has been redeployed
to the Antarctica to McMurdo Station some time in the first week of
November. He is expected to be there until March 5th. However, Chris
adds that the ham shack's antennas there were destroyed, and they
also suffered damage to the main HF rig. He plans to hand carry a HF
rig from home in PA to Antarctica. When Chris gets there, he will
construct a dipole and will be on the air as KC4/N3SIG mainly on
14243 kHz (The unofficial Antarctica ham freq). He may also be on 40
meters, too.

ADDED NOTE: Chris has created an Antarctic Ham Radio mailing list
group under Yahoo Groups. Here he will post his operating schedules
and other Antarctic topics. He invites everyone to join. To subscribe,
send an e-mail to: AntarcticHamRadio-subscribe @ yahoogroups.com
