Just noticed this on QRZ.COM from Bill K7MT who used to be a regular on the FM sats a few years ago with his antenna on his helmet on the ski slopes in MT...
Howdy from Bill K7MT Helena, Mt.
I will be deploying back to McMurdo Station Antarctica Nov 15, 2009 - Feb 20, 2010. I will be active from KC4USV Sundays 0000 GMT on SSB. I have requests from Europe to come in early around 1800 GMT on Saturdays so they can work Antarctica and I will be there. I am taking a rigblaster for PSK-31 on 14.070 and CW on 14.043 if time permits. I am also taking an Arrow II antenna/Kenwood TH-7 to work the FM satellites to VK and ZL land. Finally, if I get it operational, APRS VHF to HF with a Kam Plus. VK6CO will help me HF 30 meters with their HF APRS parameters. You just might see me driving out on the Ross Ice Sea as K7MT-7 in Ivan the Terra Bus. Pictures and information on my home web page at:
Qsl is via K1IED Larry who has done a terrific job with the QSL cards from Exel sprea sheet I will be sending to him weekly from McMurdo.
See ya on HF in about 45 days from McMurdo Station Antarctica.
Cheers Bill Erhardt K7MT
