Radio equipment

The radio kit issued (two VHF radios (old and new type), two batteries, one external aerial and two solar panels) worked reliably, with only minor communication problems.

Reception and Transmission

The reception and transmission was in general satisfying. The external aerial was helpful, repeater stations were used during the whole time.

Information during sheds

During the first part of our field work, the radio communication with Scott Base was very efficient, professional and highly appreciated.
