Raydiowarm is delighted to announce that we have supplied a Transmitter Mitt to a team doing iceberg research in the Antarctic. The team, from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute are currently on a ship in the Southern Ocean. Their budget did not allow for the hiring of a helicopter at half a million dollars, so they have opted instead for a modified model aircraft to do the job. Operating a model in such low temperatures is very challenging, particularly for protecting the operators hands and the transmitter from the effects of such bitter cold. To overcome this problem the team have chosen a Raydiowarm transmitter mitt, as good a product test as one could hope to get!
	The MBARI team will be taking photos & sending feedback which we hope to post on this website in the near future. You can catch up on the team's progress & see a video of the model on their blog, use this link: http://etchemendy.com/rmmblog/?p=21 Make the most of warm weather flying while you can, winter will be back!
