ANTARCTICA 8J1RL (SWL reporting)

La station Japonaise 8J1RL sur 14.220 Mhz le 21 octobre 2012 à 19H30 TU. J'ai encore mes oreilles en bon état et grâce aux écouteurs on arrive à distinguer certaines stations du bruit  de fond radio.
Copiée avec la deltaloop, dans le bruit (SN:  1 voire 2)... QSA 1. Impossible d'établir un 2 ways en phonie compte-tenu des distances d'une part et des caractéristiques légères de ma station. J'ai tout même envoyé ma carte QSL swl au bureau du Japon.   Extrait de QRZ.com :

" 8J1RL is one of amateur radio club station of The Japan Amateur Radio League (JARL), located at the Japanese research station "SYOWA" in Antarctica, and operators are member of The Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition team (JARE).
SYOWA station was founded on January 1957.
JARL was licensed as specially call “8J1RL” in 1965.
7th JARE (JARE7) started on the air by 8J1RL in 1966.
Now, 8J1RL has been operating through the year by JARE wintering members.
Wintering members are change every year in February, so we issue different beautiful QSL cards annually.  sources QRZ.com
