Milcom Blog Logs: Operation Deep Freeze Monitored on UHF Milsatcom

A friend of this blog - Joe Steinmetz, K6SAT - has been monitoring milsatcom activity associated with Antarctica's Operation DeepFreeze. He caught the activity on 263.625 MHz in the clear. The POR UHF satcom traffic from Antarctica was heard with call signs of ICE 26 and MAC center.

Recordings of the activity he monitored are at the links below:
