W.A.P. – W.A.C.A. Antarctic, Sub-Antarctic and Peri-Antarctic Directory W.A.P. Worldwide Antarctic Program W.A.C.A. Worked Antarctic Callsigns Award Since 2001 edited by the authors I1HYW, Gianni VARETTO and IK1GPG, Massimo BALSAMO http://www.waponline.it Sezione A.R.I. di Mondovì C/o IK1QFM Betty Sciolla Via Torino 89 I-12084 Mondovì (Cuneo) ITALY E-mail: [email protected] Nineteenth Edition - Year 2Ø2Ø Updated 21 July 2Ø2Ø (Release 1.36) List of more than 4.211 Callsigns used in Antarctica since 1945. In Antarctica there are no Nations nor Cities, just research Bases. Sometimes those Bases are so big that we can consider them cities. Each base has been categorized under the name of the nation it belongs to and referenced into a unique book called WAP Directory. Born originally from an idea of I1HYW & IK1GPG in 1979, the Antarctic Directory has growth as well as the Antarctic Continent’s exploration. Our wish was and still is to build a tool devoted to Antarctic Enthusiasts, Hams and followers, to all of those keens who love Antarctica as we do. This job is addressed to the Antarctic Chasers and dedicated to the Researchers, Scientists, Organizations, Governments and Personnel, involved every years in the fascinating Antarctic Adventure, in recognition of their efforts. The only genuine editions of the Antarctic Directories are those signed by the Authors, or downloaded from the W.A.P. “Worldwide Antarctic Program” web sites.
