Communication with Qaqortoq Radio was good from Ulamertorssuaq and elevated areas, but difficult from the camp at the fjord.We used about 3 W output. They were kind to help us with weather forecasts that contained more than just what is interesting for ships.
FM/AM Radio: We could not receive anything. News and weather would only be in danish and greenlandic language anyway.
