CQ DX from Casey Station, Antarctica – An Interview with Paul VK0PD

Post author By admin
Post date April 16, 2021

Ever wondered what it’s like to run portable from Antarctica? Paul VK0PD has been operating a amateur radio station from Casey Station since March 2021. In this video I catch up with Paul and discuss what it’s like to operate in such harsh environments, the DX contacts he’s enjoyed so far and what his interests are in ham radio.

VKFF-0571 is also a qualifying WWFF park at Casey Station which has become a rarity for those chasing and Paul using VK0PD is activating this where he can.
