Thanks for the updated info. dxAce Mark. "dxAce" wrote in message ... Mark wrote: I heard some activity on 8997, on July 20 this year, 08:12 UTC. Sounded like helicopter traffic. This may have been NASA Quest at McMurdo Station. Air-to-ground service is provided by the US Navy for McMurdo Station now. It's usually active from October 1st until February 25th (some seasons, McMurdo maintains primary watch until March 1) on 8998 and secondary of 11255. Interesting. That Antarctic web page shows 11256, but perhaps they have shifted down one. Have to remember that. My problem is that I'm rarely up late enough to listen for them these days. Their airspace is everything south of 60 degrees. My apologies if you already have this info. Mark. "dxAce" wrote in message ... Ken Wilson wrote: Keep us posted. One other thing I was looking for today was some activity on either 8998 or 9032 out of Antarctica. Years ago there was quite a bit of activity on 8998 (or 8997 at the time) out of Auckland, NZ in support of US activities in Antarctica. Since that time I understand that that frequency has become secondary and 9032 has become primary. Flights out of Auckland (and perhaps other sites) should begin soon as the seasons shift. While monitoring 9032 I did come across quite a bit of British activity on 9031, and it sounds like an interesting frequency to monitor. Comms with apparent NATO aircraft, and some weather reports for a location in Italy. Years ago, as I stated, I monitored 8998 (it may have been 8997 at the time, I think they shifted a bit since then) for Anatarctic activity quite a bit, and once on a DXpedition I was rewarded by actually hearing a helo on the ice at the South Pole. That was an interesting reception. With regards to 8998 and 9032, if I recall correctly a lot of the activity occurred during the very early morning hours here in the Eastern USA. Here is a site for some Antarctic stuff, though it has not been updated recently: http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaver...ntarctica.html dxAce |
