The Antarctic was previously "no man's land" in my BC area. With the QSL from LRA36, a new, the 7th and last continent, has appeared in my statistics.
Base Esperanza, the location of LRA36, is Argentinian owned in Antarctica. According to the EDXC country list from August 2020, Base Esperanza belongs to the Antarctic Mainland (ATA).

On 5.1.2020 at 0059z I was able to receive the new 25 KW transmitter of the Voice of Maldives at 1449 kHz. This frequency is mainly dominated by the BBC in Aberdeen. During a break in the program change from BBC Radio 4 to BBC Worldservice I could clearly hear the ID "The Voice of Maldives, welcome". My reception report was promptly rewarded with an e-QSL after 12 hours.

The Voice of Maldives has not been active on this frequency for a long time. The new medium-wave transmitter went into operation at the end of December 2019.

For those who think you would need long antennas for this reception: it was possible with an ALA 1530S + Imperium @home QTH, in the city center and far outside of my garden reception station.

Within 2 days I received this confirmation from AIR Northeast from Gantok Sikkim, via @mail. The often disturbed reception was on 30.8.2019 between 1629 and 1659 z on the frequency 4835 kc in acceptable quality possible. Antenna: 210 ° / 30 ° 50-m long wire. Thanks to D K Tripathi, Assistant Engineer at AIR Gantok for this nice confirmation from India.
