Antarctica again on 40m WSPR

Not heard in Antractica last night but very happy to be decoded on their two receivers this evening:

Australia, Antarctica, Reunion Is, Brazil

Good going for 1W on 40m WSPR

Nothing received in the Antarctic yet but nice to see a couple of spots on Reunion Island and a spot at the Canadian Acrtic station.
