Little Dome C-Epica Camp, WAP MNB-15 is one of the most wanted active site in Antarctica and Danilo IZ1KHY is trying to set up an HF gear to be on air from there and giving the chasers this “New One” activated only once by David FT4YM/P in the year 2022.
Unfortunately, Danilo is experiencing high SWR and seems that something is wrong on the dipole or on the coax cable, also because the outside temperature is extremely cold on the Antarctic Plateau.

Danilo said that in the morning even if it’s a sunny day, temp is 50°C below zero! There is much work at the LDC-Epica Camp and his free time is limited but he is optimistic; we are sure we can get him on the log before too long!

Let’s keep our finger crossed!!!
