Today I slept in again and it was great. I
spent most of the afternoon doing washing. When everybody left after the
resupply they left behind all their bed linen, towels etc and it will take
weeks to wash and dry it all and then fold it and put it away, so we do a
bit here and there. Later I carried all my radio equipment from the operations
building down to the transmitter building. It was a huge job and my back was
pretty sore when I finished. After dinner I assembled all my radio gear and I
was amazed how well it was working. The noise floor is very quiet down here and
I can pick up stations all over the world very easy. Some of the stations heard
were, Perth, Melbourne, USA, Germany, Italy, Russia, a ship in the Indian Ocean
& India just to name a few.
My friend the elephant seal was still outside
the red shed after the bliz with ice all over his face. The whole place has
been transformed after the bliz with white dry powder snow all over the hills
and bliz trails behind every building. You have to make sure you don’t leave
any doors or windows open as just the slightest crack or hole will let tones of
snow in and fill a room or car in no time. Any loose items will be blown away
also.

ReplyDeleteI think it's fine.
ReplyDeleteI wanted another room only because it had a nice view, but mine is in a very quiet location.
