Victoria University Antarctic Research Expedition Science and Logistics Reports 1990-91: VUWAE 35

(i)	In general radio communications with Scott Base were good. However, we did have some problems with both of the radios issued. It would appear that the contact to the battery pack is failing and for reliable communications the battery had to be held up against the radio at all times, with some inconvenience.
(ii)	Radio sked times were set in a flexible way to suit both ourselves and Scott Base. However, Scott Base was not reliable in keeping the evening sked nor at times the morning one.
