For what it's worth, my race would have been completely different had I not had an SSB. I have come to understand that it's essential to the spirit of this race, but others may not be as interested in that aspect of it. I'm looking at some options and I'd appreciate any feedback on ways to get the sat phone people position reports in a quick and efficient manner. I want the comms plan to be fair for everyone.
Sending texts or emails to sat phone is possible and FREE on both ends (sender and receiver). I am really hoping that positions will therefore be broadcasted to sat phone racers.
Thanks
