Hi all,

The History Guy's latest video posted to YouTube highlights two teenaged hams' critical role in keeping lonely Antarctic research station personnel in touch with their loved ones in the 1950's. It is a quintessential example of why we do what we do, though this is the first time I have heard about it.

The part about ham radio doesn't start until 7:20, but what precedes it provides important context. At 16:49 in length, it is worth watching if you have the time. Here is the URL:
