Hi Luis,

Yes, play the ball!!!! You are in an excellent location and your signal is, i would say, in the TOP 3 of EU :-)
I'm still transmitting on VLF daily but if DP0GVN comes on air before 22:30 UTC i may give it a short try.
The greyline is reaching their location right now!!
Due to the always up to date image of their webcam i assume that they will upload sports immediately.

Nice to see the good news Stefan J

 

Now the ball is in our side. From 4 to 7 UTC may be a good window for North America too

Asunto: LF: Antarctica on 630m WSPR

 

Hi MF,

Since a few weeks the German Antarctic research station Neumayer III  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neumayer-Station_III) is running a Red Pitaya on a wideband RX antenna to receive/decode/upload WSPR reports on up to 8 bands simultaneously. You may have noticed them already on the WSPR map on other bands. I saw regular spots on 160m from DL statations and other countries in EU.

They seem to have quite a good satellite internet connection. So uploading WSPR spots is no problem. They also run an up to date webcam showing an image for example here:

One of the maintainers of the radio station there is Felix / DL5XL. I know him personally and, taking the idea of EA5DOM, i contacted him and asked if they want to try to receive on 630m as well. Yesterday i got an answer.

DP0GVN in IB59UH will receive WSPR(2) on 630m daily between 4...7 UTC now.

I asked them if they can extend the time to 20...07 UTC. Let's see.

So turn on your PAs and make a first contact from your continent to Antarctica on 630m! And spread the message into other reflectors, VK could be in a favorite position.
