RADIO COMMUNICATIONS

Radio communicantions used USAP supplied Southcom transmitter-receivers and good communications were enjoyed with S. Pole, Mac Centre and CAZERTZ. Communications with Scott Base were non existent and we used K-051 to relay messages.

The Tait hand held radios performed perfectly as did the solar charging units. The USAP personnel brought Motorola hand helds and we were able to use the same frequency. Hand helds proved much more successful this season than the previous season.
