I. Amateur Radio Schedule Mike Savage (ZL2MLS) and Howard Evans (W6IDS), two South Pole Station winter-overs from 1980, are initiating a weekly ham radio net. All those interested in Antarctic matters are invited to join in. The net is called "Antarctic Net". The schedule follows: Day (UTC) Saturday (Friday night in USA) Time (UTC) 0300 Primary Frequency: 18.125 MHz +/- .005 MHz Alternate Frequency: 14.270 MHz +/- .005 MHz We'll experiment with this schedule to see when propagation is best on the various bands. We're hoping to get some of the Antarctic stations to join in. Howard (W6IDS) will be using a log periodic antenna pointed towards New Zealand from his QTH of Richmond, Indiana. Mike (ZL2MLS) will be using a G5RV from his home in Wellington, New Zealand. Listen for worldwide beacon stations on 14.100 MHz and 18.110 MHz for indications of propagation. II. Internet Schedules.
