Logging tool communication apparatus (10), for carrying out a downhole communication method, comprises rotatable and/or longitudinally reciprocable drill pipe (12) including fixed or capable of being fixed in a co-rotative and/or co-reciprocable relationship at an in-use downhole end an in-use downhole logging tool (27). The logging tool (27) includes a movement sensor (33); and the apparatus (10) includes a motor, at a location remote from the logging tool (27), for causing rotation and/or reciprocation of the drill pipe (12) in a borehole or wellbore (18). The apparatus (10) includes one or more control elements for selectively controlling operation of the motor so as to cause selective rotation and/or reciprocation of the drill pipe (12) which causes movement of the logging tool (27), when fixed to the drill pipe (12), in a manner that is detectable by the movement sensor (33).
