The latest USAF FLIP Supplement (Aug 05, 2004, Antarctica) list these freqs
for McMurdo:

9032, 11256, 5726.

McMurdo also monitors distress freqs 2182 and 4123.

I just looked up the temp for McMurdo, and at 6 PM NZST it was -22F/-30C.

Reminds me that winter is on it's way here, though hopefully it will not be that
cold!

Oh yeah... should mention that I've heard Ham activity here on 14243 out of
Antarctica from time to time during my evenings here, say around 0100 GMT or so.

Cool. I will listen out on 14243. Haven't heard any amateur stuff from
Antarctica.
There used to be some scientists on Campbell Island who used to operate a 27
MHz CB, spoke to them a few times.

Used to be a lot of Antarctic activity on 20 meters, running phone patches, that
sort of thing. I don't listen down there to often anymore, but I do have several
cards from the stations down there from the mid 60's to around '70 or so, when I
first started SWL'ing.

I can recall hearing a station or two late last year on 14243.

Enjoy.

Yes, will give it a go. Theorectically at least, shouldn't be as difficult
to receive in Auckland as in Michigan!

Keep me posted. I've always had an interest in monitoring Antarctica.

What is the record cold for your area?
