Hi,
I've searched the newsgroups for any real world opinions on Skymate
(
http://www.skymate.com
) - but, can't really find anything that seems
persuasive.
Is there anyone out there who has experience with the system, or has
heard opinions from other cruisers who use Skymate.
hoping to avoid the negatives of other systems.
Globalstar - poor coverage in eastern Carib.
Iridium - expensive
SSB/Pactor - expensive and long waits for a connection
Cell phone - can't lose sight of land
--- What would be the best suggestion if starting from scratch.
Thanks,
Mike.
Has this something to do with the Mile-High club? Not a member, yet!
