630	COOK ISLANDS  ZK1ZC R.Cook Islands, Rarotonga (2.5 kW) – The sole MW outlet, originally 5 kW but power was reduced to save operating cost, also on 89.9 FM, previously simulcast on 864 ZK1ZA, along with 3265, 5045, 9695, and 11760 short wave. From Radio Cook Islands, May 23, 2019: „The Cook Islands Investment Corporation will begin dismantling our AM Radio mast out at Matavera. The mast was installed around 1970 and I remember seeing it being worked on around 1990 but since then no maintenance has been done on it. Government own it and Bluesky maintain it. Anyway, it is a hazard at the moment as sections of it are rusting and so it needs to come down. It will affect our radio service reach. We have FM around the island and in the Outer Islands via the Government but the reach is not that good. I think radio is kind of like a low priority for anyone these days. The AM has been useful in that in can reach all the way to Penrhyn.“ [Adrian Sainsbury-RNZI via New Zealand Radio DX League] The Matavera transmitter site was decommissioned in August 2019, replaced by FM, but 630 AM service was later restored from an old standby 1 kW transmitter located at Black Rock on the Island of Rarotonga, October 18, 2019.

Ice FM by AFAN (American Forces Antarctic Network)

Auf Bildern ist es schwer zu sagen, ob sich die McMurdo-Station tatsächlich auf dem abgelegenen, eisigen Planeten Hoth aus Star Wars befindet oder nicht. Eine Ansammlung niedrig gelegener Behausungen sprießt aus Vulkangestein und ist von kilometerlangem Schnee und Eis umgeben. Aber es befindet sich tatsächlich hier auf der Erde, in der Antarktis.

Die amerikanische Forschungsbasis ist seit 1955 in Betrieb. In dieser trostlosen, gefrorenen Isolation betreiben Wissenschaftler wichtige Forschungen in den Bereichen Astrophysik, Biologie, Geologie, Glaziologie, Geomorphologie, Eisbohrkerne, Ozeane und Klimasysteme. Der Sender beschäftigt derzeit 600 Mitarbeiter, die in der „Sommersaison“ auf rund 1.000 anwachsen. Das ist praktisch eine kleine Stadt, und wie in jeder Kleinstadt braucht es alle, von Köchen über Schweißer und Polizisten bis hin zu Künstlern und Schriftstellern.

In diesen Tagen liegt ein bisschen Kälte in der Luft, aber das ist nichts im Vergleich zu den durchschnittlichen -70,6 Grad Fahrenheit, mit denen die tapferen McMurdo-Mitarbeiter tagein, tagaus konfrontiert sind. Was machst du dort unten in deiner Freizeit? Was passiert, wenn Ihnen die Kälte zu schaffen macht? Du könntest dich in einen Sturm begeben, schneeblind werden und erfrieren. Oder Sie können sich hinsetzen und den einzigen Radiosender der Antarktis einschalten: ICE 104.5 FM AFAN (American Forces Antarctic Network).

Richtig, irgendwo da unten, in einem kleinen Raum in der Nähe der Messehalle, nahe dem südlichsten Punkt unseres kleinen blauen Planeten, gibt es einen Radio-DJ, der Melodien für Forscher, Robben und Pinguine auflegt. Vielleicht sogar im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes, denn obwohl McMurdo Station moderne Radiotechnologie verwendet, hält sie immer noch einen Schatz von über 12.000 Schallplatten in Besitz, was dem Äther – ohnehin schon eine Retro-Form des Mediums – eine noch nostalgischere Aura verleiht.

ICE FM wird von einem Team freiwilliger Discjockeys aus dem gesamten Sender betrieben: Bauarbeiter, Militärs, Wissenschaftler und Eistaucher, die ihren vielseitigen Geschmack mit anderen weit weg von zu Hause teilen. Angelo Bovara ist einer dieser DJs. Er ist wirklich da unten als Produktionskoch und versorgt die Arbeiter des Senders. „Heute habe ich Schweinekoteletts für 300 Leute gemacht“, schreibt er in einer E-Mail. „Morgen mache ich vielleicht 80 Gallonen Suppe oder 200 Pfund Steak.“

E-Mail war der beste Weg, um mit Bovara in Kontakt zu treten. Internetbandbreite ist an der Station ein Luxus und meist wissenschaftlichen Zwecken vorbehalten, so dass ein Videocall im Grunde nicht in Frage kam. Genau aus diesem Grund ist 104,5 für die Antarktis so wichtig. „Die Bandbreite ist hier zu teuer (und die Wissenschaft) zu hoch, um jedem zu ermöglichen, sein eigenes Ding zu streamen“, schreibt Bowara. „Also haben wir den Radiosender.“

Kristyn Carney ist mit fast 20 Jahren Erfahrung die erfahrenste DJ auf der Basis und arbeitet seit 1997 in verschiedenen Funktionen auf der Basis, von der Köchin bis zur Überwachung des Flottenbetriebs. Sie sagt, dass sie nie daran gedacht hätte, DJ zu werden. „Es ist irgendwie zufällig passiert“, sagt sie. „Eine Freundin einer Freundin hatte uns ein paar Mal in ihrer Show und ich dachte nur: ‚Oh mein Gott, das ist unglaublich.'“

Was jagen DJs also 10 Meilen über das Schelfeis? Eine ziemliche Vielfalt, wie sich herausstellt. Bovara persönlich liebt es, jedes Metall zu drehen, das er in die Finger bekommt. „Alter, ich habe ein paar verdammte Metal Church (eine Westküsten-Heavy-Metal-Band) im Radio gespielt! Und die meisten von [Metallica] … Und Gerechtigkeit für alle„, prahlt er.

Er legt auch Wert darauf, die Stoßmusik abzuspielen, die der Sender gespeichert hat. „Es gibt Stunden und Stunden von diesem Zeug. Ich schreibe, nehme und produziere meine eigene Musik, damit ich die Arbeit verstehe, die dahinter steckt. Sie werden vielleicht nie erfahren, dass es gespielt und vorgestellt wurde, aber es war so. Und ich hoffe, dass jemand das Gleiche tun würde, wenn er meine Musik ungehört herumliegen fände.“

Carney beginnt jede Show mit „Cecilia“ von Simon & Garfunkel. „Je nach Lust und Laune während der Woche spiele ich dann eine 80er-Jahre-Show oder bleibe bei noch älteren Songs. Wenn ich mit meinen Freundinnen zusammen bin, machen wir das, was wir ‚die Quadrilogie‘ nennen, also REO Speedwagon, Journey, Air Supply und Styx.“

Als Veteranin hat Carney ein ganzes System, eine 24-seitige Tabelle mit jedem Song, den sie mag, und die in der CD-Bibliothek des Senders verfügbar ist.

Ralph Maestas – der sich seit ein paar Monaten in den USA aufhält und über Zoom sprechen konnte – leitet den TV- und Radiobetrieb bei McMurdo. Er sagt, dass etwa 75 McMurdo-Mitarbeiter im Sommer freiwillig arbeiten, und 30 im Winter, wenn die Crew kleiner ist. Er erzählt, dass einer seiner deutschen Freiwilligen seine ganze Show auf Deutsch spielte, aber nur alte Latin-Jazz-Musik auf Vinyl spielte. „Es war ziemlich beliebt“, sagt er. „Diese Musik hört man nie.“

Andere moderieren Talkshows und nehmen Anrufe von anderen McMurdo-Mitarbeitern entgegen, so wie es jeder andere Radiosender in den USA tun würde. Einige interviewen die Wissenschaftler der Station und erzählen von ihrer Forschung. „Wir hatten tatsächlich einmal William Shatner zu Besuch“, prahlt Maesta.

Für diese DJs ist der Sender sowohl etwas zu tun als auch ein Community-Builder. „Du musst etwas tun“, schreibt Bavarro. „Manche Leute gehen in die kleine Bibliothek, die wir haben, und lesen. Manche Leute sind cool und wissen, wie man Freunde findet, mit denen man abhängen kann. Manche Leute wandern jeden Tag auf den Berg. Ich gehe zweimal pro Woche ins Radio und zwinge 12 oder 15 Leuten XTREME-Bumper-Musik auf.“

Die Station bietet Carney eine Pause von ihren täglichen Aufgaben, Brände zu löschen und sicherzustellen, dass der Stützpunkt voll besetzt bleibt. „Es ist ein Ort für mich, an den ich mit ein oder zwei meiner Freunde gehe, um die Musik zu spielen, die wir mögen“, sagt sie. „Es ist auch gut für die Moral. Es ist aufregend. Die meisten Leute in der realen Welt werden keine Gelegenheit bekommen, mit dem DJ-Equipment, das wir haben, zu arbeiten oder eine Show zu veranstalten.“

Maestas stimmt zu, dass ICE FM eine wichtige Rolle auf der Basis spielt, und das spiegelt sich in der Anmeldung von Freiwilligen wider. „In den letzten 10 Jahren hatten wir eine Aufsatzaufforderung auf der Rückseite des Anmeldebogens, um sich freiwillig zu melden, in der sie gefragt wurden, was es ihrer Meinung nach bedeutet, ein DJ in dieser Gemeinschaft zu sein. Fast jede Antwort ist, dass sie der Gemeinschaft etwas zurückgeben wollen.“
