Radio Communications

Radio Communications

Communication was generally good with Scott Base on HF frequencies. K042 used the morning sked which was efficiently handled from Scott Base. The Labgear radio gave no problems which was a pleasant surprise considering the age of the equipment.

UHF communication is now good on the sea ice between Cape Roberts and Scott Base. We would have preferred DBF sets for our sea ice operation particularly when we needed to communicate with other parties working with us, e.g. surveyors. It would have also enabled easier operation between our two toboggon parties while surveying and sampling.
