Hi...

Heard US accent on 8997 kHz, July 15, 09:38 UTC. Didn't think much of it and
logged it. But couldn't remember hearing anything on that freq before, and
nothing in my logs either.

I am listening in Auckland, New Zealand. A web search turns up a NASA site,
talking about 8997 kHz as a secondary frequency for helicopters at McMurdo
base, Antarctica. Even though I live in Auckland, haven't heard Antarctica
before! (Haven't tried to hard either I suppose!).

Anybody else heard this, or any other options for who uses this frequency?

Mark.
