I reacently had lunch with 3 members of the NZ Summer Party from Scott Base
and a member of the USAF based at the South Pole all of whome are Ham
operators.



During our conversation I asked about "LRA36"  They all agreed that its a
relay Station  from the South American Contenent to Antartica and can only
be heard faintly at times. even at the South Pole.

I can see how they may have reached that conclusion if they
are unable to hear the station.  However, the times I have
heard LRA36, it consisted of locally produced programming
from Esperanza Base.

    They agreed that it could not be considered an "Antartic"  Station for
Country Purposes

What's next?  Disqualifying Palmer Station from being Antarctic? :)
