KC4AAA - South Pole Station

  • Kenwood TS-480 transceiver
  • Alpha RF 87A 1.5KW linear amplifier
  • Ameritron antenna switch
  • 20m yagi pointed towards US
  • 40m yagi pointed towards US
  • 3-band 10-15-20m pointed towards Europe
  • non-working 17m pointed towards Europe

It was all remote controlled from a Windows PC in the ham shack, which wasn't as fun as turning knobs on the actual Kenwood, but I suppose it was more “modern” this way, and you didn't have to trek out the RF building 1km away.
