The A-G sitrep from Mawson

VLV Mawson this is Scott McC, Sitrep

Alfa – Mawson station, Red shed

Bravo – Everybody appears to be living the dream

Charlie – All vehicles meticulously maintained by the three amigos

Delta – Eat, sleep and take in the wonder of being in this great place - rinse/ repeat

Echo – Wind speed - varying; direction - consistent; oktas - looking up and seeing a bright sky 24/7; surface contrast - present; horizon - doesn’t appear to be getting any closer.

Foxtrot – Steep rock with a covering of smaller rocks, so you keep your wits about you.

Golf – Is it an early knock off this Friday? it’s been a big week.

CO detector is on, I just have to bring it back inside; bloody thing was annoying me.

Over and out.

Scott McCartney, Mawson Electrician
