Fincke worked KC4AAC at Antarctica's Palmer Research Station for his last contact-- a bonus continent not required to earn the International Amateur Radio Union's Worked All Continents award.

The audio of the Antarctica contact can be heard by clicking here.

Information on Amateur Radio operation on the International Space Station and the many Amateur satellites currently available can be found in Oscar News published
bi-monthly by AMSAT-UK.
