 >From the ARRL:

It's not just Field Day here on the continental United States -- it's also
Field Day on the South Pole! Robert Reynolds, NØQFQ, a ham down at
Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, said all three US bases will be on the
air for Field Day. Amundsen-Scott,KC4AAA; Palmer Station, KC4AAC and McMurdo
Station, KC4/W1MRQ, will be operating on 40 meters around 7.235 MHz and on
20 meters around 14.243 MHz throughout the event. McMurdo will also be
operating CW on 7.028 MHz. Since the Pole at this time of year is in total
darkness, Reynolds says 40 meters will be the better band. Reynolds went on
to say that Amundsen-Scott will be on the air throughout the entire 24 hour
event. Palmer and McMurdo, he said, will be on the air "as much as
possible."
