BBC Midwinter Broadcast to Antartica

Mostly as a reminder to self, this happens today at 3:30 pm CDT.  Details at The SWLing Post.

The time given is somewhat up in the air.  At the associated BBC page, the listed time is 21:30 BST, which is of course 3:30 CDT.  However, this is very much at odds with shortwave broadcast listings which always give times in zulu, which would slide things to 4:30 CDT.

Solution: try at 3:30 CDT, and if nothing heard try again at 4:30.  Per usual, persistence pays.

After Report: Broadcast was at 21:30 Z not BST after all.  Could barely hear signal at 9580 KHz, nothing at all heard at the other two frequencies.   Could just distinguish male from female voices.  Better luck next year!
