Chuck, WS1L, will have a presentation on the 2006 3YØX DXpedition to Peter I Island Antarctica
More people have flown in outer space ..
than have set foot on Peter I Island!
This photo of Peter I was taken in 1987 by Trond Eiken of the
Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI). This is a head-on view of
Eva Odden (Cape Eva) and Radiosletta (Radio Plains), with
Lars Christensentoppen (Mt. Lars Christensen) in the background.
(They added the antenna at the campsite).
This was a tremendous DXPedition to the bottom of the world, at the bottom of the sunspot cycle. My logbooks show days of futile effort until I finally got them in the log. I will bring along the QSL cards and a video on the trip that is very interesting.
I hope to see you all there!
NoBARC is an organization of about 150 Amateur Radio Operators (“Hams”) centered in Berkshire County, Massachusetts. Many of our repeaters are atop Mount Greylock at 3500 feet above sea level and have a typical coverage without obstruction of about a 250-300 mile circle, making these some of the widest coverage repeaters in the Northeast.
The Massachusetts War Memorial tower atop Mount Greylock. Our repeater antennas are a short distance away from this tower.
