Thanks to Bhagwati VU3BPZ and Rajesh VU3LBP, few envelopes are now coming at the end of the XXXVI Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica.
It’s always a great emotion to get mail with covers and postal cancellations, envelopes signed by the Base Leaders, or rubber stamped with names of the famous ships that are working in the Icy Continent.
Even if the first stamps produced specifically for use in the Antarctic were issued by the “New Zealand Post Office on January 15th, 1908“,
collecting Antarctic stamps, Covers , Antarctic ship covers, Polarogrammes, or any other envelopes or post cards coming from Antarctica is undoubtedly a great satisfaction … same as receiving QSLs after an Ham Radio contact with an Antarctic Base!
Probably it’s true, all those who have approached even marginally to the radio world, will surely have intuited which indisputable charm it emanates!
