   PAUL/ANCHOR: Scientists on the frozen Antarctic continent got a good   
   warm feeling listening to the shortwave radio recently. Graham Kemp   
   VK4BB tells us why.   
      
   GRAHAM: The shortwave broadcast wasn't aiming for big global   
   listenership. Indeed, there were perhaps only a few dozen pairs of ears   
   for whom the special programme was intended. Still, the BBC's Antarctic   
   Midwinter Broadcast is a shortwave tradition Down Under. This year, its   
   70th anniversary year, was no different. Scientists and support staff   
   of the British Antarctic Survey Team were tuned in on the 21st of June   
   to hear welcoming messages from home - including a pre-recorded   
   greeting from King Charles, the first monarch to participate in the   
   tradition.   
      
   The show only lasted a half-hour but has been a big part of a midwinter   
   at British research stations on the frozen continent for decades.

   YOUNGSTERS ON THE AIR CAMP GEARS UP IN EUROPE   
      
   ANCHOR: Here in the US, the Youth on the Air Americas Camp has just   
   wrapped up in suburban Denver, Colorado. Soon, it will be France's turn   
   to host eager young amateurs. Jeremy Boot G4NJH has the details.   
      
   JEREMY: Youngsters on the Air - also known this year as YOTA France -is   
   getting ready for its 13th edition. The camp will be taking place at   
   the Chateau de Jambville near Paris from the 18th through to the 25th   
   of August. It is being hosted by the French national amateur radio   
   society, RÃ(c)seau des Émetteurs Français or REF.   
      
   Although the camp serves primarily youngsters from throughout IARU   
   Region 1, guest campers will be welcomed from Regions 2 and 3. About   
   100 young amateurs attend these camps each year, participating as teams   
   representing their countries. Previous YOTA summer camps have been held   
   in such countries as Czechia,  Hungary, Croatia, Bulgaria, South Africa   
   and Great Britain.

   SWEDEN'S GRIMETON RADIO STATION TO SEND JUBILEE MESSAGE   
      
   PAUL/ANCHOR: In Sweden, the Grimeton Radio Station is marking its   
   jubilee year in the most appropriate way possible - can you guess how?   
   Jeremy Boot  G4NJH has some answers.   
      
   JEREMY: The Jubilee Year for the Grimeton Radio Station in Sweden is   
   well under way, having begun last December. The highest point of the   
   year, however, will come on the 2nd of July - the exact date, 100 years   
   ago, that the station's 200kW alternator sent a message across the   
   Atlantic Ocean for receipt by the US president, Calvin Coolidge. The   
   message reached the receiving station in Riverhead, New York - on Long   
   Island - and the president had a reply sent, praising the new   
   broadcaster and sharing his hopes for good relations between Sweden and   
   the US.   
      
   July 2nd is nearly here and the 100-year anniversary of that historic   
   message is being celebrated with a telegram to be transmitted from the   
   station on 17.2 kHz using CW at 0900 UTC. The station will be using the   
   original callsign, SAQ, .   
      
   The broadcast can be heard on a receiver with VLF capability and will   
   also be live streamed on YouTube.   
      
   In the meantime, hams wishing to make contact with the amateur radio   
   station SK6SAQ in CW or SSB should be listening on 80, 40 and 20   
   metres.

   LIFESAVING SKILLS LEARNED ATOP SOME SOTA SUMMITS   
      
   PAUL/ANCHOR: Being a SOTA activator has given one ham in Australia much   
   more than memorable QSOs, spectacular summit views and some outdoor   
   adventures. It has provided him with some lifesaving skills, as we hear   
   from Jason Daniels VK2LAW.   
      
   JASON: As record-breaking fires consumed huge sections of the Canadian   
   province of Alberta, Wade Smith VK1MIC, was preparing for an activation   
   that would take him into the heart of the destruction. As captain of   
   the communications brigade in the New South Wales Rural Fire Service,   
   Wade responded to Canada's request by traveling from Sydney with the   
   Australian contingent. Wade added his specialised skills in air radio   
   and dispatch to assist the joint Australian-Albertan Incident   
   Management Team operating in the remote northern region of Alberta.   
      
   Facing the challenge of several large fires raging, Wade and his team   
   handled more than 500 radio calls daily. The fire-fighting effort   
   mustered more than 20 aircraft involved in operations across several   
   large fires,   
      
   Wade, who is also the VK1 SOTA Association Manager, said his years of   
   SOTA experience have served as great practice for staying focused,   
   handling several stations at once and managing fast-moving   
   communications pile-ups. He said [quote]" "These same skills are   
   directly transferable to coordinating air operations under pressure."   
   [endquote]   
      
   The fires posed hazards on the ground locally as well as for the air   
   quality in much of North America. Weather experts attribute the   
   conditions in the region to an ongoing trend of dry, warm conditions   
   that have been worsened by the global climate crisis.
