RADIO COMMUNICATIONS

RADIO COMMUNICATIONS

(i)The Tait VHF and Compac radios were in good condition, except for a dead compac battery.
(ii)Although Scott Base assured us that the Mt Newell repeater was working before our put–in, we could not raise Scott Base on VHP when we landed at Fang, Communications were mostly good from the 1 lower hut, except on 14–16 December when the repeater switched on and off rapidly during our transmissions.
(iii)General efficiency was good, and news service well received.
