| 1. | Field parties being forced to spend several days at any one camp site waiting for a helicopter move was the most serious problem experienced during the 1982-83 field season. The situation could have been improved if Scott Base had provided explanations as to the reason for the lack of availability of helicopters to NZ field parties/ and why helicopters did not eventuate when they were finally scheduled. |
| 2. | The radio sked twice daily was a prolonged affair and needs to be streamlined so that only urgent messages are handled during the initial check in by the field parties and all other communications including weather, requests for helicopter moves and shopping lists are conveyed during a second run through the field parties. |
