It's almost 2023. Tell me about your HF or satellite communication installation
Among boats that have long-range communications capabilities (beyond VHF and cellular range), there still appears to be a substantial installed base of HF together with a mixture of satellite systems.


I offer this poll and discussion to help understand the choices that other sailors are making. I am planning to install long-range communications equipment of some kind aboard my boat in the next year, and so this question has become more important to me.
