Rothera Research Station in Antarctica (amateur) putting out a good

Gave up trying to log the YL (young lady) DXpedition in Greenland. The
operator Ingrid sounded like she was disgusted with the whole thing.

Very cool on the first one - but why was Ingrid unhappy? No contacts?

It was a zoo. There are a couple locals in Greenland that I talk to
once and a while. But add a YL and things get ridiculous. People
calling 5 and 6 times made it almost impossible to make a contact. She
did a good job but I can understand why she would not be too happy
about it. I think they have 6 female operators. Probably someone
different tonight.

They do have a nice sounding station set up. There were stations from
South America and Europe calling so anyone wanting to hear a station
from Greenland should listen to 20 meters for the OX6YL callsign.

Both. But right now - 1900UT they are on 14280kHz voice. Does not
sound promising. About 10 people talking at once and a couple dead
carriers on the frequency.
