At Neumayer Station III, about 20 kilometres away, wind speeds of max. 94.9 knots (175.7 km\/h) were recorded as a minute average during the night from 13 to 14 August.    The strongest gust was 112 knots (207 km\/h). This is by far the highest wind speed in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the satellite antenna for the geostationary QO-100 amateur radio satellite was also completely destroyed during the storm, despite the weatherproof radome, so no school contacts with DP0GVN can take place until further notice. AMSAT-DL and AWI hope to erect a new antenna early next year, in particular to continue the very successful contacts with schools.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Press release of the AWI: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awi.de\/ueber-uns\/service\/presse\/presse-detailansicht\/default-e0712c2330.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">German<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awi.de\/en\/about-us\/service\/press\/single-view\/default-e0712c2330.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">English<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the Alfred-Wegener-Institute, a severe winter storm hit Atka Bay (Antarctica) at the end of last week.
