Ham radio in Antarctica: expectations for the beginning of the year

Epiphany takes all the holidays away, says the motto; today, Jan 6th marks the end of the famous. “twelve days of Christmas”.

Stations and field camps in Antarctica are in midst of scientific research and study’s  activities, but how researchers (who are also radio amateurs) commit , do their free time?

Among the personnel staffed in Antarctica there are some radio amateurs; they are  specialists and researchers … who knows if they will be allowed to make their voices heard all over the world,  through the use of  the  radio equipment of their respective Bases?

Video below is a mix of New Year Greetings from Antarctica dedicated to the 200 years of its discovery, dedicated to all the National and International  Teams actually involved the summer campaigns in the Icy Continent!
Radio Amateurs are a great family, now joined together in a WW marathon; a way to celebrate Guglielmo Marconi,  a way to remember the bicentenary 1820-2020 of the first exploration of man in Antarctica.
