Conachair,

I understand you, but do you realize that we update our blog while under way using Pactor? There's no need for a satphone to do that, just a smart web host that supports mobile clients.

This is almost a paradox: the dollars spent on satellite communications are draining the kitty so a SSB + pactor are out of reach. But the SSB/pactor combo save on communications costs but then you already have this kit so what do you save for... ah Cuba Libre's !! ;-)

ciao!
Nick.
