Hear Christmas Carols And Talk To Santa On Ham Radio

  • Summary

  • On Christmas Eve, scientists at field stations across Antarctica sing carols to one another...via shortwave. On today's episode, the Short Wave podcast explores shortwave radio. We speak with space physicist and electrical engineer Nathaniel Frissell about this Antarctic Christmas Carol tradition and his use of shortwave radio for community science.

    Read more about Santa Net, which connects children (known in the shortwave radio community as "little harmonics") with Santa.
