(Original msg on bottom)

may be my question was not enough clear.

I was asking the most cheap vehicle to be used to get small file
attachments, through emails.

Inmarsat mini C and OrbComm services cannot handle file attachments,
despite small sizes, Ham SSB ask for too much Amps and is
discontinue.

According to the above seems to remain a full Iridium or Globalstar
service .. that are of high cost both for equipments and fees.

Thanks
Manlio

Despite very little in size, I understand Inmarsat Mini C is unable to
download grib files.

What is then the less expensive way to get them through a satellite
connection ?

Wrap the GRIB files in a ASCII Wrapper and transmit them as a text file.
ZIP or TAR or Stuffit would all work well.
