Abstract
The paper shows that radio waves at about 900 MHz can propagate in the tunnels of a potash mine with low loss and low multipath distortion. This result is important because many commercial communication systems such as cellular radio, radio LANs and personal communication systems operate in this frequency band and can be adapted to work in a potash mine, replacing the more expensive leaky feeder systems used in other types of underground mines
