Immediate Report of Victoria University Of Wellington Antarctic Expedition 1987-88: VUWAE 32

Laboratory Facilities

Laboratory Facilities

We made considerable use of the Scott Base Science lab, and were very grateful to Paul Purvis of Telecom, who helped out after the technician assigned to MEEMS page 35 resigned, until his replacement arrived. It is pleasing that the ionosonde is no longer next to our telemetry receivers, and that interference is reduced.

Necessary additions to the lab equipment include:
  • Dual tracking power supply
  • Tunable narrow band voltmeter for multiplexed subcarriers
  • Portable battery powered oscilloscope for outside use.

Better designation of storage areas for spares, and recording materials and box files for service manuals and instructions would help the lab technicians.
