IF you're going blue water cruising/sailing you might want to get a
pactor II tnc to go with your rig. go to www.winlink2000.org and
check out winlink which will give you email via pactor ii on hf.

PSk is a good mode but doesn't offer store and forward capabilities
yet it's efficient with low power and doesn't take a lot of bandwidth.

be sure to check into which voice maritime service nets serve your
areas of travel on mmsn.org where one of the net members has
thoughtfully put together lists of ham maritime communications nets as
well as some networks on the regular maritime hf bands.

WElcome back to ham radio!
