Devon Island is one of the most radio-quiet places in the northern hemisphere, a perfect place for the Haughton-Mars Project to conduct the EDGES experiment.
From day one of their work, they have been struggling to identify any radio frequency interference, no matter how small it might be. Ruling out FM radio transmissions from distant stations was the easy part — after those were excluded, the trio walked the HMP base and surrounding areas with a handheld RF meter.
The first week was spent trying to get the EDGES system to work properly. While earlier versions had been deployed twice before, including in the Australian outback, it had never been tested in these extreme conditions of cold. Because the antenna system is located far from camp, it's powered by batteries, and at these temperatures, those take the first hit — they are depleted within 8-10 hours.
