Ham radio in Antarctica

news Админ.US5LOC -
...Marcus Heger DL1MH writes about the amateur radio station at the Neumayer-Station III research base in Antarctica 

A translation of his blog post says: 

A specialty is the amateur radio - as a non-commercial, technical-scientific radio service that serves worldwide for experimental and technical-scientific studies, for their own further education and international understanding.
The AWI allows employees who are radio amateurs to do amateur radio operations in their free time. Since the second hibernation (in 1982 at the Georg von Neumayer station), hibernators have been using the option of radioing the amateur radio bands with the callsign DP0GVN from the Neumayer stations I, II and III.

BBC internet radio petition gathers pace

...A petition calling on the BBC to reinstate its internet radio stations to third-party apps has attracted nearly 2,000 signatures. The petition is asking the broadcaster to reverse its decision to remove BBC stations from TuneIn, a popular app for listening to live internet radio. The BBC removed its streams from the service at the end of September. In a blogpost at the time, the BBC said that it was making the move because services like TuneIn do not allow it to collect data on its streams. Kieran Clifton, the BBC's director of distribution and business development, said: "We want our programmes, products and services to be the best they can be. And a major way we ensure that is by using meaningful data. Data is more and more important – as it helps us to make more types of programmes we know people like, and equally importantly, identify gaps in our commissioning to ensure we’re making something for all audiences. We also use the data collected about what you watch, li

... On October 10th, the following was posted on the Pitcairn Island DXpedition VP6R Web page  (  https://pitcairndx.com/news-and-updates ) [edited]: "I experienced a sudden and relatively severe, acute illness and  was hospitalized for a number of days.  I am recovering at home, but  the risk of compromising the DXpedition to Pitcairn Island is too great  for me to make the trip with the team.  My friend Glenn, W0GJ, will  take on my responsibilities and the DXpedition will proceed as otherwise planned. "Most team members will have begun their travels within the next 24-48 hours.  The October 15th flight to Mangareva and boarding of the Brave- heart remain on schedule. This is a great disappointment for me, but the show will go on.  I  thank all of you for your past encouragement and support.  I have great  confidence in all of our team members; they will give this DXpedition  their all.....  Ralph – K0IR " "The team members are very disappointed that Ralph, K
