Radio Communications
Radio Communications
VHF communications were used almost exclusively by K042 this season. The Crater Hill repeater could be used until we were north of Butter Pt. then the new Erebus was used and gave excellent communications this season. We were surprised that this repeater could still be used when we were not in line of site at our camp on the south side of the MacKay Glacier Tongue. The new permanent VHF set in NZ1 is very helpful but the battery and charging system now needs increasing (see NZ1 comments above).
