[A-DX] BBC midwinter broadcast to Antarctica - Thursday 2130 UT

[Wolfgang GARGITTER]

Die Sendung kam ja auf allen 3 Frequenzen brauchbar bis bombig hier an.

Wo aber schickt man einen evtl. RR hin.

Angesagt wurde diesbezüglich ja gar nix.

Die Sendung war ja eine reine Gruß-Sendung, vollgepackt mit messages, 
und mit abruptem Sendeschluss.

73s + Gruß aus Tirol,

Wolfgang G.
