2010 HISTORY:
ASCENSION ISL/U.K.  Last year BBWS had a special midwinter shortwave
broadcast to Antarctica on Sunday 21 June 2009 at 2130 UTC.

It's apparantly on every year. I've googled around, but can find no
reference to this year's broadcast. So, one to search for. Last year it was
on 5950 and 7295 via Rampisham and 7360 via Ascension.

Didn't even try the other two (7295 and 5950), since 7360 was fine
(Rampisham or Ascension?). Brought back happy memories of BBC Calling the
Falklands. Tnx Alan Pennington for alert and very 73 de
