Antarctica on 20 M & 75 M AM

[Pete, WA2CWA]

Some time ago we had a thread inquiry/discussion about anyone on AM from Antarctica.
From the ARRL DX News, dated 1/3/08:
ANTARCTICA.  Ludwig, ZS6WLC is QRV as ZS7BYRD from the Antarctic base SANAE IV until February.  He is usually active on 20 meters using CW, SSB and AM.  QSL via operator's instructions.

OH Cool!  Are any freqs. listed for him?  I love high band AM.

Here's a quote from the internet:
Ludwich said that he had an AM set (Collins?) with him and wanted to work 80 M Dx with it as he believed that this had not yet been done from Antartica. So look out for ZS7ANT or ZS6WLC/ZS7 on 3.795Mhz AM

Here's another:
He expects to operate SSB on 14180 kHz and AM on 14280 kHz; CW will be supported using straight key. QSL to Ludwig Combrinck, P.O. Box 443, Krugersdorp 1740, South Africa.
ZS7BYRD will be a commemorative station for Admiral Richard E. Byrd's 1930 and 1934 expeditions, where they used the McMurdo Silver crystal circuit for selectivity and the Collins pioneered class B AM modulator for the first voice transmissions to the USA from Antartica respectively.

Thanks Pete.
