[K6NCG] Antarctica phone patches?

[wg6h at pacbell.net]

 Sorry I do not remember running phone patches for Antarctica although I am sure that we did that. 

My most significant memory operating K6NCG was running hundreds of messages after the big Alaska earthquake in 1964. At that time hams were limited
to 60 wpm on RTTY. We ran some much traffic we were able to get special permission from the FCC to run 100 wpm.

I has been a long time since thinking about K6NCG. Hope everyone is doing well and still Hamming!

73,

 Group,

A couple of people in the office here have worked in Antarctica.  One is
going back shortly. I’m trying to show her the value of ham radio.

I remember hearing stories of K6NCG working phone patches for KC4US_
stations back in the day on 14292.

Does anyone here have any recollections of working Antarctica?

Incidentally, I try to use 14292 as a CQ channel whenever I use the club
call. Seems traditional.
