The “New Depot Camp” is a seasonal base where fuel and all kinds of cargo are being reloaded. The camp is located at 70°17’57” South, 02°25’17” West,  as shown in the attached locator map, practically near the ice covered Blåskimen and Novyy Islands.

Following the great activity from Oleg ZS7ANF, mostly on 17, 20 and 30 meters, after having got pictures and details of this “new site”, a brand new WAP reference has been given as WAP MNB-23.

The “New Depot Camp” will be added on the next issue of WAP-WADA Directory (June 2026 issue) as:

MNB-23

Bull Pass at 77°26’4Ø”South, 161°51’Ø6″East, is a remote site in the Dry Valleys, Southern Victoria Land near McMurdo Station in Antarctica that hosts Huts & Communication Station; a couple of research and refuge structures being recently visited by KL5SE Andrew T Winkelman.

Andrew signing KC4/KL7SE has worked SSB and FT8 logging quite a number of QSOs  which allow WAP to issue a brand new reference to this remote site,  as WAP USA-54, which will appear on next release of WAP WADA Directory of June 2026.
