ssb or satelite phone
The CG's handling of SSB is a bit unclear to me. We were in a situation
where VHF contact was marginal. I asked the CG if I could contact them via SSB and they said no, they did not support SSB frequencies. Doug, k3qt s/v Callista "Dick" wrote in message ... Which is a better idea - ssb or satelite phone? It depends on who you want to talk to. If you want to talk to the friends that you have met while cruising or the Coast Gaurd then SSB. If you want to call home then you can use the satelite phone or ham. If you are going to use then ham or SSB are still good and they are cheaper so most cruisiers go the cheaper route. When and if satelite phones become cheap then more cruisers while use them. Dick |
