You raise a good point, SGT. The bandwidth of the radio without MORROWNET is really small. If the teams were to get their reports to Primebase for their extensive records that way, short codes would be the order of the day. Though I took the approach that the on board computer has tape backup and they would arranged for a pick up via radio and be able to send huge amounts of data quickly. The whole bandwidth of a semi full of disks scenario. Of course all bets are off 150 later....
