Immediate report of Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition 1988-89: VUWAE 33

Radio Communications

Radio Communications

The Tait VHF radio provided good comms everywhere except at Fang Glacier, and the Compac radio filled that gap adequately, in contrast with the Codan 8332 which had failed in previous years. The solar panel was again excellent. The only problem was loose and missing screws holding the top panels on the Taits. This caused intermittent operation of one radio, and a replacement was sent up. The radio skeds were very good, and the operators very helpful.
