Summary
Use different communication tools to communicate over extended distances after dark.
Narrative
Starfleet Communications looks after all the various internal and external communications between ships and bases. The Communication Officers, as well as being linguistic experts, have to be trained to use a vast array of communiation tools to enable them to communicate over different distance and at different speeds with all types of vessels and operators. With most of these tools using electromagnetic radiation of different frequencies, the Communication Officers have the capacity to contact the most cultures using the most primitive communicaiton devices as well as beam messages through sub space faster than the speed of light.
Briefing
As the chief Starfleet Communications officer at your starbase you are in charge of communications with other bases nearby. Unfortunately the communicators aren't working and you need to rely on traditional radio transmissions to contact the other bases on your planet. The ionosphere reflects radiowaves further at night time, make use of these phenomenon to try and contact other starbases as far afield as possible.
Instructions
Follow the instructions of the amateur radio operators to make connections with other operators from further afield.
