[ADXA] KC4USV

[Dennis Schaefer]

I saw KC4USV at McMurdo Station, Antarctica, on 20 FT8 last night.  It
brought back a lot of memories.   We used to hear USV often on 20 SSB in
the early evening with a booming signal.

One of our locals, Dave, KG5GH, worked at McMurdo  several times.  One
night about 2 AM, my phone rang.  It was a ham in Louisiana and he said
Dave was on at KC4USV and wanted me to know.   I fired up on 20M and had a
nice conversation with Dave.  He said I was about S9.  After a few minutes,
we paused and heard “Kilowatt 5 Uniform Radio”.   Rick joined the
conversation.  I was proud of my S9 report until Dave told Rick he was S9 +
20!
