Five weather broadcasts were transmitted each day; all resupply requirements of the seven stations were collected and retransmitted at LAS; more than 1,500 administration and operational messages per month hummed over its transmitters; thousands of CW, RATT, FAX and voice schedules with American and foreign stations, aircraft, and trail parties cut across the limitless miles of icecap.
