ssb or satelite phone
Satellite phone is a better idea. SSB is nearly DEAD. Sorry but that is nonsense. SSB is thriving in the cruising community. As said elsewhere, safety nets, weather nets, weatherfax etc etc. We have both. The satphone is only for the odd call home and to take in the liferaft. If we could only have one it wouldn't even be a close contest, SSB wins by miles. Mike |

You can make phone calls via SSB as well although not as convienient
as on a satphone. If you are a ham then it is free. Free email as well for hams. For serious cruisers, obtaining a ham license is well worth the effort.

We enjoyed free email all last winter in the islands. Another very nice
feature is that you can download pretty much any of the WXFAX products on demand rather than waiting for FAX schedules and noisey images. Lots of other WX products as well.
