Radio Propagation in Standedge Tunnel (3-5) (PDF 285KB)     

Back in 2003, CREG was invited by Network Rail to investigate radio propagation in Standedge tunnel. During these tests, some unexpected results were obtained. Various hypotheses were discussed, but the work was never followed up. David Gibson asserts that a lack of 'experimenter's diligence' in the original work prevents us from drawing any useful conclusions, and he warns of the danger of making a 'wishful' hypothesis.

 

Laser Scanning the World's Largest Cave Chambers (6-10) (PDF 3.0MB)     

Richard Walters (Roo) is part of a team that aims to survey the World's largest chambers in full 3D using laser scanning techniques. Here he presents the results to date and a practical guide on how to conduct a laser scanning exercise.

 

John Hey – an Appreciation (11-12) (PDF 603KB)     

John Hey will be greatly missed. His contributions to cave radio are well known, but his wide range of other interests may surprise some. These brief tributes, from a number of past and present members of CREG, highlight his quiet and independent character, many talents and numerous pastimes.

Electric Fields around an Underground, Radiating Electric Dipole (17-19) (PDF 386KB)     

Ian Drummond revisits Nevin Davis's 1970 paper 'Optimum Frequencies for Underground Radio Communication'. Research had been carried out on communication between underground sites as part of Cold War preparations. Davis was able to make use of this work to explore how it might be of benefit to cave communications. Davis's conclusions remain relevant today.
