ANTARCTICA FREQUECIES

Hello and welcome back....Grab your woolly jumper and Shortwave radio, Antarctica here we come.

Temps in Antarctica once reached -49.4c, one wonders if radio frequencies might freeze and fall to the ground... But no, several shortwave frequencies beam out of this frozen hell hole (I say hell hole because i hate anything under 25c but some people might find -49c invigorating) in fact, even as i type this, current temp in Antarctica is -35c so if conditions are right, radio signals are headed straight into your Shortwave radio...
Try it, you never know.

If you get the chance to visit Antarctica, try these frequencies below

33.200 (Davis Station)
119.500 (Davis Station)
121.100 (Casey)
121.500 (Casey) 
129.700 (Casey)

156.400 MHz
156.450 MHz (Davis)
156.850 Mhz  (Mawson)
401.5 MHz (Bureau of Meteorology) 
With the shortwave frequencies, it doesn't state whether upper or lower sideband is used, just lists as N

Stay Warm :)
