The old shack of KC4USV is limited, the old TH6DXX triband was taken down, however Andrew may set up his own equipment/ant and activate KC4USV. Then, on to two other camps, exact days to be announced

Andrew, KL5SE, will be operating as KC4USV from McMurdo Station and as KC4/KL5SE from field camps nearby.

He posted the following on his QRZ.com page: I will be operating from field camps supported by McMurdo Station, Antarctica during the 2025-2026 Austral summer season.
