<http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmes/2011/06/110620_antarctic_midwinter_broadcast_2011.shtml>
5950 channel tx switched on at 21.29:40 UT, started with short piece of
Babcock control room Cello music. Midwinter broadcast to British bases in
Antarctica. At 2137 UT Beach Boys song played. At 2151 UT "Happy Birthday To
You" sung by young girl. 21.56 UT "Albatross" guitar-based instrumental by
Fleedwood Mac.
5950 S=9+30dB, 7295 best signal S=9+35dB, 7360 S=9+30dB surprisingly strong
from Ascension, suffered a little co-channel interference by Belarus
Radio, - latter in Europe - but not on the down under target, I guess.
9850 S=9+25dB.
Producer Essword Richardson. 21.59:32 TX switch OFF. Perfect performance.
