The Antarctic is a mysterious continent for many of us. Those seeking a spot on the CQ DX Field Award Honor Rolls will need to be familiar with Antarctica. Despite smaller-sized fields, the extreme weather and lack of population will make communications with many Antarctic fields difficult. But, Antarctic bases do produce activity on the Amateur Radio bands.
Two excellent organizations have compiled exhaustive research on Amateur Radio in the Antarctic. Use of these guides is highly recommended.
The WORLD WIDE ANTARCTIC PROGRAM (WAP) WEB SITE and Gianni Varetto, I1HYW publish WAP Special Edition. The web site contains detailed well-researched information for the Antarctic DXer.
The MEDITERRANEO DX CLUB WEB SITE provides information concerning human settlements located at 60 degrees or higher south latitude. MDXC publishes the Antarctic Award Directory. Thanks to Award Manager Gianni Marruccella, IZ8CGS.
