Members saw a video of the VP8ORK DXpedition to South Orkney in 2011. The cold and snow didn’t seem to lessen the enthusiasm of those taking part. The expedition were fortunate in having a boat crew who pitched in to help set up and later, dismantle the tents and generator area. In spite of a morning with total loss of propagation the team made well over 60,000 QSOs during their stay. When packing up it was important they left nothing behind to indicate they had ever been there.
