A few days ago I logged a station calling for a radio check on 251.850. As I was not able to pick out the callword, I decided to ask around hoping someone else could help listen for clues. A few hours later it was determined the station was most likely the USCGC Drummond (WPB-1323). Special thanks to Scott and Bryan from the RadioReference forums for the extra pairs of ears.

Intercepted some traffic this morning between Ice 49 and Mac Center discussing weather conditions in Antarctica. Due to blowing snow and poor visibility, Ice 49 decides to abort mission and head back to Christchurch.
