Granted that this was lonnnnng ago, but during Robin Sage our commo guys were having trouble communicating. It was March, and very cold. A "commo committee" guy came out, threw a coil of commo wire out on the ground as the antenna, and communicated like crazy. He told our guys they were trying to communicate halfway around the world when the base was actually "around the corner". Probably not germane to this instance.
