McMurdo is either KC4USV or NNN0ICE, take your pick.

Williams Field where Squadron Six flies out of with the C-130s is KC4USX

Amundsen-Scott/South Pole is KC4AAA

Palmer Station is KC4AAC

There are a couple others as well, including the Greenpeace station on
Ross Island with a New Zealand call ZL5BA

Worked all of the above back in the late 80s/early 90s and received
cards from all except Palmer, which I worked almost nightly. A high
school buddy had been there and his older brother was on station then.
