A short while ago, I heard ICE 11 calling Mac Center on 9032. But no
response from Mac Center.

Now at 2320 I'm hearing some Spanish on the frequency, and some more whistling,
so possibly a fisherman or drug traffickers or?

Jack,

No, haven't ever heard Antarctic stuff on 4125 kHz. Only really
started
listening to Antarctic this season, which started a couple of weeks
ago.
So far, I've just heard stuff on 8867 and 9032.

The only thing I've had the opportunity to hear this season were the
two(?)
aircraft which were calling McMurdo on 9032 a while back.

I've really spent no time at all listening to 8867 yet.

Have heard the Argentine broadcast station, LRA36, up on 15476.1.

I was listening to 9032 until an hour ago or so (it's now 05:15 UTC October
15).
Didn't hear anything at all here except for the ICE flight I mentioned.

I can hear RAF on 9031 on the half-hour with weather information. The
station, I believe, is in Upavon, England.

Mark, RAF ARCHITECT from Ascension Island is probably what you heard there.

I think ARCHITECT is actually out of the UK at H+00 and H+30. HAVEN would be
via Ascension at H+45.

That sked goes way back to the days when they used 9032 vs. 9031.

The above link shows the same on 9031.

Isn't it all remoted now? Probability of Mark hearing Ascension more likely
than Britain in any case. Ascension is a powerful station in ALE and voice,
it reaches North America stronger than British mainland most nights. I hear
ARCHITECT making flight-following calls to a/c on 9031, and was told that is
from Ascension. I haven't caught the VOLMET or other scheduled traffic
there.

Perhaps, but he did say he was hearing weather on the half hour, and that would
fit the sked as far as ARCHITECT goes.

dxAce,

Thanks for this info. Yes, I hear faint wx info on the hour and then another
brief transmission on the half-hour, on 9031.

Jack,

I appreciate what you are saying regarding propagation between Britain and
NZ. Surprisingly (or maybe not!) Britain can be received here quite well at
times. I hear RAF Volmet, West Drayton (west of London) on 11253
occasionally. In fact so much so, I use it as a propagation beacon - if I
can hear it, I know that things are happening from that part of the world to
here.

That's one of the interesting things about HF propagation - I don't think
there's an are on the planet that I haven't heard at some point. Recently, I
could hear Tripoli Aeradio (Libya) on 11300, and I can hear the Azores also.
I believe the most distant place (great circle) from Auckland is in Southern
Spain.

Mark.
