An Automated System for Identifying Bat Species
Ecological study of bats is aided by automated equipment that can identify different species of bat from their differing echo-location calls. Keith Jackson describes how digital signal processing (DSP) and neural networks are being used to achieve this design goal.

Build a Single Wire Telephone with Alarm Call
Peter Hamilton provides circuit and constructional details of a Single Wire Telephone with high impedance input, alarm call, and automatic standby mode.

PMR 446 Radios for Surface Communication
Licence-free hand-held radios are now available in a number of European countries. Rob Gill recently field tested a pair of budget PMR 446 radios.

Using Portable SSTV Equipment Underground
The Kenwood VC-H1 is a hand-held slow-scan television (SSTV) unit. Mike Bedford has experimented with it as a portable solution to cave-to-surface image transmission.

GPS for Cavers - a Practical Introduction
Lev Bishop provides an introduction to GPS navigation with particular emphasis on implementing differential GPS.

A High Brightness Lamp
Normally we can cope with a rather modest lamp underground but there are times when a really bright lamp is needed. Mike Bedford describes such a lamp, which has given reliable service for a number of years.

Web Watch
Need to repair or buy a cordless hammer drill? Peter Ludwig lists some useful sites.

Selected Further Reading
If a topic in this issue interests you, this 'further reading' list from CREG Journals, compiled by David Gibson, may be of use.

Wet & Dry
Richard Rushton discusses acceptance and life testing.

A New CB Radio for the LF Transverter
Using a CB to LF transverter is a versatile way to build a cave radio system that can be adapted to work on widely differing frequencies. Ian Drummond describes a new model of CB radio, which provides a lighter and smaller solution than his previous designs.

'Lech' on 4 D-cells
Lechuguilla Cave seems to be a popular location to test 'high-tech' lighting systems. David Gibson reviews a report.

Installing Earth Electrode Arrays - a Practical Guide
The results of earth electrode based cave radio experiments are summarised. John Rabson suggests rules for laying out effective electrode systems.
