\"\"Cape Hallett 72\u00b019\u2019 South, 170\u00b016\u2019 East,  was the location of a joint scientific base, Hallett Station<\/strong>, between the United States<\/strong> and New Zealand<\/strong> during the International Geophysical Year <\/strong>of 1957<\/strong>, and was manned permanently until 1964, when there was a major fire.<\/p>\n

Hallett Station<\/strong>  was then used as a summer only base until 1973. The site is currently being remediated by removing hazardous materials: fuel, and oil stored in several large tanks. This is an ongoing project which will take several years to complete.<\/p>\n

\"\"At the time, thirty Navy men and scientists were stationed at a “rookery” near Hallett Station from October through February to study the over 100,000 Adelie penguins which populate the area. These birds, 18 inches tall and weighing 14 pounds, return annually to breed and raise their young. An area of 74 ha, is protected under the Antarctic Treaty System as Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) No.106 because it contains habitats with a rich and diverse range of plant communities that are the most extensive and representative examples known at the northern end of the latitudinal gradient of Victoria Land and the Ross Sea.<\/p>\n

\"\"The only activity known from Hallett Station <\/strong>(WAP MNB-\u00d88<\/strong><\/span>) was ZL5AC Ken Bargh <\/strong>(QSL aside<\/em>)  who did operate from there in 1958 but also, on WAP-WADA Directory there is another ZL5AC<\/strong> but from Scott Station<\/strong> (WAP NZL-\u00d81<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

Now thanks to a couple of Antarctic veteran, Volker Strecke DL8JDX<\/strong> <\/em>and A<\/strong>lan Cresswell ZL2BX<\/strong><\/em>,  WAP<\/strong><\/span> is proud to retrace a bit of that time, about this ZL5AC’s twins.
\nIn a message sent to Volker DL8JDX<\/strong>, last Febr.3rd<\/sup>,   Alan Cresswell ZL2BX<\/strong> <\/em>(alancresswell@xtra.co.nz<\/a>) wrote: -With regard to ZL5AC<\/strong>, I was in the Antarctic in 1974.  Firstly at  the New Zealand research station at Scott Base,  and then at the American Byrd Station<\/strong> on the Polar Plateau. My operating was restricted to visits to Scott Base as I was unable to operate from Byrd Station so,  I only managed a few hundred contacts. Most of my operating outside NZ was done  in my time in the Pacific Islands (ZK1AM, ZK1DR) where I had over 100.000 contacts. 73, Alan ZL2BX-<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Alan<\/strong><\/em>  mentioned about Byrd Station<\/strong>.
\nIt will be interesting to have more details  in particular about  Byrd Coast Camp \uf0e0 WAP USA-NEW  which is still unnumbered on WAP WADA Directory  but this  will another item to search for !
\nHere below a list of the actually referenced Byrds  sites:
\n1) Byrd VLF Substation (aka Longwire), WAP USA-\u00d83
\n2) Byrd Station (aka Old Byrd Station), WAP USA-19
\n3) Byrd Surface Camp,  WAP-USA-20
\n5) Byrd Radio Noise Outpost (aka Conjugate Point Station), WAP USA-35
\n6) Byrd Aurora Substation.  WAP USA-41
\n7) Temporary Byrd Surface Camp,  WAP USA-45
\n8) Byrd Coast Camp,  WAP USA-NEW<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps some Old Timers\/Antarctic Veteran might recall some rare memories of that frame of the Antarctic era and help WAP<\/span><\/strong> to know a bit more.<\/p>\n

\"\" Cap Hallett 72\u00b019′ Sud, 170\u00b016′
\nEst, \u00e9tait l’emplacement d’une base scientifique commune, Hallett Station<\/strong>, entre les \u00c9tats-Unis<\/strong>\u00a0et la Nouvelle-Z\u00e9lande<\/strong>\u00a0pendant
\nl’Ann\u00e9e g\u00e9ophysique internationale\u00a0<\/strong>de 1957<\/strong>, et a \u00e9t\u00e9 occup\u00e9e en permanence jusqu’en 1964, lorsqu’un incendie majeur s’est d\u00e9clar\u00e9.<\/p>\n

La Hallett Station<\/strong>\u00a0a ensuite \u00e9t\u00e9 utilis\u00e9e comme base d’\u00e9t\u00e9 uniquement jusqu’en\u00a01973. Le site est actuellement en cours d’assainissement\u00a0en enlevant les mati\u00e8res dangereuses\u00a0: carburant et huile stock\u00e9es dans plusieurs grands r\u00e9servoirs. Il s’agit d’un projet en cours qui prendra plusieurs ann\u00e9es.<\/p>\n

\"\" \u00c0 l’\u00e9poque, trente hommes et scientifiques de la Marine \u00e9taient stationn\u00e9s dans une ‘roquerie’ pr\u00e8s de la station Hallett d’octobre \u00e0 f\u00e9vrier pour \u00e9tudier les plus de 100 000
\nManchots Ad\u00e9lie qui peuplent la r\u00e9gion. Ces oiseaux, mesurant 18 pouces et pesant 14 livres, reviennent chaque ann\u00e9e pour se reproduire et \u00e9lever leurs petits. Un domaine de 74 ha, est prot\u00e9g\u00e9 au titre de la
\nSyst\u00e8me du Trait\u00e9 sur l’Antarctique en tant que zone sp\u00e9cialement prot\u00e9g\u00e9e de l’Antarctique (ZSPA) n\u00b0 106, car elle contient des habitats avec une gamme riche et diversifi\u00e9e de communaut\u00e9s v\u00e9g\u00e9tales qui sont les plus \u00e9tendues et
\nexemples repr\u00e9sentatifs connus \u00e0 l’extr\u00e9mit\u00e9 nord du gradient latitudinal de la Terre Victoria et de la mer de Ross.<\/p>\n

\"\" La seule activit\u00e9 connue de Hallett Station <\/strong>
\n(WAP MNB-\u00d88<\/strong><\/span>) \u00e9tait ZL5AC Ken Bargh <\/strong>(QSL \u00e0 part<\/em> )\u00a0qui a op\u00e9r\u00e9 \u00e0 partir de l\u00e0 en 1958 mais aussi, sur WAP-WADA
\nR\u00e9pertoire il y a un autre ZL5AC<\/strong> mais de Scott Station<\/strong> (WAP NZL-\u00d81<\/strong><\/span >).<\/p>\n

Maintenant merci \u00e0 un couple de v\u00e9t\u00e9rans de l’Antarctique, Volker Strecke DL8JDX<\/strong> <\/em>et A<\/strong>lan Cresswell ZL2BX<\/strong ><\/em>,\u00a0 WAP<\/strong><\/span> est fier de retracer un peu cette \u00e9poque, \u00e0 propos des jumeaux de ce ZL5AC.

\n(alancresswell@xtra.co.nz<\/a>) a \u00e9crit\u00a0: -En ce qui concerne ZL5AC<\/strong>, j’\u00e9tais dans l’Antarctique en 1974.\u00a0 D’abord \u00e0\u00a0\u00a0la station de recherche n\u00e9o-z\u00e9landaise de Scott Base,\u00a0puis \u00e0 la station am\u00e9ricaine Byrd<\/strong> sur le Plateau polaire. Mes op\u00e9rations se limitaient \u00e0 des visites \u00e0 la base de Scott, car je ne pouvais pas op\u00e9rer depuis la gare de Byrd, je n’ai donc g\u00e9r\u00e9 que quelques centaines de contacts. La plupart de mes op\u00e9rations en dehors de la Nouvelle-Z\u00e9lande ont \u00e9t\u00e9 effectu\u00e9es pendant mon s\u00e9jour dans les \u00eeles du Pacifique (ZK1AM, ZK1DR) o\u00f9 j’ai eu plus de 100\u00a0000\u00a0contacts. 73\u00a0ans, Alan ZL2BX-<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Alan<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0a mentionn\u00e9 la gare de Byrd<\/strong>.
\nIl sera int\u00e9ressant d’avoir plus de d\u00e9tails \u00a0en particulier sur \u00a0Byrd Coast Camp \uf0e0 WAP USA-NEW\u00a0qui n’est toujours pas num\u00e9rot\u00e9 sur l’annuaire WAP WADA \u00a0mais cela sera un autre \u00e9l\u00e9ment \u00e0 rechercher\u00a0!

Peut-\u00eatre que certains anciens\/v\u00e9t\u00e9rans de l’Antarctique pourraient se rappeler de rares souvenirs de cette image de l’\u00e8re antarctique et aider WAP<\/span><\/strong> \u00e0 savoir un peu plus.<\/p>\n
