We must say that the 1st edition (2004) of the Antarctic Activity Week did see the participation of the first French station TMØANT (WAP-ØØ8) a Team operated by LYON DX GANG ASSOCIATION.
François Bergez F8DVD have never lost a single edition of the AAW since 2005 when he did sign TM8ANT (WAP-14)! Now , the 21th edition (2024) of the AAW was again a lot of fun fot with 6272 contacts in 153 DXCC countries, was the comment by François (TM21AAW) , who have just shown his new QSL printed for the event.
The picture on TM21AAW’s card, shows the Ukranian Antarctic Akademic Vernadsky Station (WAP UKR-Ø1) located at 65˚14′ South, 64˚15′ West, Marina Point on GalindezIsland in the Argentine islands Archipelago. The Faraday British Research base was established there in 1947 and transferred to Ukraine in 1996.
QSL for TM21AAW is actually on print with Alfio IT9EJW; as soon as the cards will be ready, direct and buro requests will be mailed.
