The Electronic FieldBook [EFB] as a Tool for Caves Science Operations (3-6)
The EFB is an information system designed to support scientific documentation in extreme environments and data exchange with the surface. Leonardo Turchi, part of the ESA CAVES Team, outlines the characteristics of this tool, highlighting its usage during the last edition of the ESA CAVES 2019 astronaut training campaign.

Non-linear Calibration of a Digital Compass and Accelerometer (7-10)
Phil Underwood describes an approach to calibrating devices such as the Shetland Attack Pony (SAP), that addresses the non-linear response of sensors. This results in accuracy superior to more traditional methods.

Update: Energy Harvesting (10)
Further notes on energy harvesting and human-powered lighting by David Gibson.

We Hear (11)
Roundup of news and events: Mike Bedford brings us the latest to impact the world of cave radio and electronics. Wearable Microgrid Harvests Energy, Prometheus Drone for Cave Exploration, Lasers to Replace LEDs?

The SSB Paradigm for Cave Radio is Outmoded - Is it Time to Move On? (12-14)
If you want to build a cave radio that extends the art and doesn’t just repeat earlier work, then David Gibson argues that SSB techniques are outmoded. Not only is DSB modulation simpler, but it offers additional opportunities - including receiving SSB signals, if that is still required. Expressly, Gibson suggests that trying to implement traditional analogue SSB methods on a DSP platform is without merit, because tailored DSP techniques (such as the CORDIC used in Graham Naylor's Système Nicola) will perform so much better.

Building a DMR Network (15-18)
Tony Haigh discusses design considerations and practical experiences of building a trial Tier 2 DMR network for the Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team in North Wales.

Cave Radio antennas (19)
In another of our Fundamentals series (#5), David Gibson explains why we use induction loops and grounded electrodes as cave radio antennas.

Web Watch (21)
Peter Ludwig looks at batteries with an incredible lifespan, lasers of incredible power and a way to cure adhesives without making them incredibly hot.

Rugged Computing: Reviewing the Options (22-24)
Mike Bedford outlines the options for those who have a need for computing resources in non-ideal environments, including on expedition and even underground.
