I visited McMurdo Station in 1966-1967 aboard the U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker “Staten Island – WAGB276.” All we had for personal communication to family was the amateur HAM radio relays from our ship to the volunteer HAM operators. They had to hold a telephone to the loud speaker on their equipment; the combination HAM radio transmition-to-telephone method worked poor to fair at best.

If I ever had the chance to return to Antarctica, I’d do it in a heartbeat. I know McMurdo has changed a lot from a few quonset huts (WWII surplus) to a place that now looks like a small college campus.
