FM radio Transiever:

Hermes can be tens of millions of miles away and receive voice transmissions on the Amicitas radio just fine. And Hermes has enough power to transmit voice signals clearly enough to Amicitas from almost anywhere in the inner solar system except on the opposite side of the sun. And the actual time delay for radio signals never exceeds twenty-eight minutes between Mars and Earth. So voices can happen tomorrow- provided they keep it very short, so Mark can hear it in the hab without having to go EVA and climb the ladder into Amicitas.
