I'm at one of my friend's homes at the moment (to use his internet, I don't have the net at my place, a priviledge I abuse as much as I can!) and he mentioned that communication problems happen more times than you'd expect.
He was saying that one time in the early 1990s he was operating an F1 radio (Australian 1960s vintage air-drop capable radio - heavy and temperamental by the 1990s) and couldn't get through to higher command. He moved the radio about 1 metre to the left without making any other adjustments and he got near perfect comms.
