Hi Bas,
Thanks for the mail. My main radio is indeed on the ship, and
won't be with me for another week or so, but I do have my FT-817
with me, and I've been using that for WSPR and JT-65A in the
meantime.
As for propagation, strange things happen down here! We have a
suprisingly good nighttime path to the EU on 40m, even though
it's 24-hour daylight here at the moment. I recently did some
tests over a few days using WSPR, which I wrote about here:
http://clarkema.org/posts/2011-12/2011-12-12-propagation-videos.html
You might be interested in the video linked at the bottom of the
4th paragraph, which shows propagation from here to Europe as
night falls.
I did make a couple of European JT65 QSOs on teh 20th as well as
just listening, so hopefully I'll see you in the log at some
point.

P.S. my location given the pskreporter website is out of date; my
current QTH is HB64ok.
A very fast reply and amazing that I can just e-mail to someone in Antarctica. So he did receive me on his FT-817. And he even made a few QSOs to Europe. And most interesting of all he has his own blog and actually does something usefull with the WSPR data. I was really surprised and can recommend this video. It gives a nice insight in the Antarctic propagation. Anyway, e-mail still is the best way to verify if you want to be certain a station heard your signal, especially in suspicious situations. Internet can be usefull but also very misleading and that concerns not only amateurradio !!

Hallo Bas, ja dat kan inderdaad gebeuren. Ik heb ook eens met webSDR WSPR gedaan op 500 KHz. Ik was benieuwd of dat ging, en dat was zo. Maar goed, als iemand dat echt doet om zo leuke rapporten binnen te krijgen dan belazer je eigenlijk jezelf. 73 Paul
Hallo Paul, je belazert jezelf en een ander. Maar hiermee heb ik wel bewezen dat je niet alles kan geloven. WSPR kan net zo. Ik ga het niet proberen, want ik vind dat zelf niet estetisch voor onze hobby. Het is hetzelfde als een QSO maken met een mobiele telefoon of via skype. 73, Bas
Hallo Bas, ja dat is ook zo, maar ik was wel benieuwd of ik zo signalen kon decoderen, ja dus. 73 Paul
