ein OM und danach ein Weinachts Song. Die Infos habe ich an 
gesendet, der auch beantwortet hat. Erstmal eine direkte Antwort und danach
den Standard-Email.

============================================== 

Hi, Rudolf.

Hi, Rudolf.  Thank you very much for your report.  I am very glad you heard
us.  So far, you are the first positive report from Brazil.  Most positive
reports have come from Germany and the Netherlands.  Many different sites
around Antarctica were transmitting (see list below), and the e-mails I have
received so far reported hearing a song transmitted by South Pole Station.

I’m really glad you enjoyed how this brought together so many people from
many different group.  I hope that you will send me a QSL; I should have
these ready to send out some time in February.

Merry Christmas and 73,
Nathaniel

Hi, everyone!  Merry Christmas!  

We had a wonderful time singing over the radio from Antarctica this year on
7995 kHz.  We heard carols not only from McMurdo Station, but many of the
other bases and remote field camps as well.  This includes South Pole
Station (American), Mario Zuchelli Station (Italian), Siple Dome Station
(Italian), Grounding Station (American), Diamond Hills Field Camp (We
think!) (American), and Science Event I-196 (American).

I have already received SWL reports from a number of listeners, and am very
happy to report that a number of operators reported that they heard Hark the
Herald Angels Sing come through the static for about 30 seconds.  This
transmission originated from South Pole Station.  So far, these reports have
come from the Netherlands, Germany, and Australia.  A few US stations
believe they heard the transmission as well.  Many reported using the
University of Twente Web SDR.

Here are some recordings you can listen to:

Your e-mail reports made everyone very happy down here.  We are all very
excited to receive Christmas greetings from around the world!

Merry Christmas, and VY 73 from the Ice,
Nathaniel, KC4/W2NAF
