German YL in Antarctica
“In the next few months I will dare the greatest adventure of my life so far: As part of the winter team, I will live and work in Antarctica for over a year.” Theresa Thoma has been preparing for this exciting journey since August. Until recently, she was in individual quarantine and then cast off with the ice-breaker 'Polarstern' on December 20, 2020. A “job” that will take you to Antarctica from December 2020 to February 2022, to a place 4400 km away from the nearest city. The wintering phase begins in March - the time of isolation. Until November 2021, the radio amateur will spend the winter in the ice with five scientists, two other technicians, a cook and a doctor. In the Antarctic summer, the team consists of up to 50 people.
As an electronics engineer, her main task is to keep EDP and radio technology running and to support scientists with technical questions. “I take care of the computers, the servers, the radio and satellite connections. I am the help desk: 'How do I get into the WLAN?', 'My printer does not work!'. But things like lubricating the small wind turbine at the penguin observatory or contacting schools via amateur radio are also part of my job. Then there is everything that we have to do because we are the only ones on site, for example all those who spend the winter in the station fire brigade, ”Theresa explains the content of her area.
In addition, she and the responsible scientists ensure that the scientific equipment in the observatories (geophysics, meteorology, air chemistry) and the greenhouse is operational. She looks after underwater microphones and the WSPR beacon. A large area of responsibility in which you have to be flexible.
The foundation stone for her enthusiasm for technology was laid in one of the almost 1000 DARC local associations. Theresa has been a DARC member since 2006 and an active participant in the craft afternoons in the Fürstenfeldbruck local association. Of the 163 members, 55 are young people who are introduced to the basics of electronics in a playful way. And this is where the spark jumped. Theresa's passion for electronic kits can also be found in her thesis.
For those interested, the entry into the world of amateur radio is often the beginning of a successful professional career in the technical / scientific field. In addition, the fun of building it yourself offers the opportunity to expand practical skills and knowledge in building electronic devices. In schools, too, by engaging with amateur radio, young technical and scientific talent is recruited and promoted - true to the motto “From radio amateur to engineer”

Quartzfest is held in the last full week of January every year. It is an RV "Boondocking" (dry camping) event which comes to life each year, rising from nothing in a remote area of the Sonoran desert in Arizona (USA). Hams, their families and friends travel and set up this desert community, and immerse themselves in this week-long one-of-a-kind ham radio, camping, learning and living event. Because of pandemic restrictions on gatherings the 2021 was called Quartz-Pause
Quartz-Pause 2021 February 2021 Recap Newsletter
Quartz-Pause has come and gone and was it ever fun. Lyn and I got to take it easy this year. We spent lots of time sitting under our awning visiting with folks when they dropped by.
The weather wasn’t bad either. It was sunny most days but did rain on us one day and the wind wasn’t really bad during the week. Weather for our off-road trip was beautiful and in the mid 70’s.
What did we do during the week? Well, we had to move our storage shed and had plenty of help with that. A big thanks to Neil for coordinating the move.
Activities during the week included two separate socially distanced and masked VE exam sessions, Cast Iron Cooking, our aforementioned off-road trip of 25 vehicles led again by Frank KB7IQ, talks by ARRL representatives Rick Paquette W7RAP Arizona Section Manager and Dick Norton N6AA Southwestern Division Director and our annual Yard Sale/Swap Meet.
Total attending…we only took attendance over the air of licensed hams…169. If we counted significant others, partners and friends, we probably had 250-270 in attendance.
Next year’s Quartzfest will be our 25th anniversary. Dates for next year will be January 23rd – 29th 2022.
