Posting from Mid-Ocean


Actually we're not, but we could if we want to (but just to be clear we don't!), posting from mid-ocean. We are however posting from our handy-dandy new HF radio which would (should we want it to) enable us to post / send emails from anywhere in the world, including the middle of the ocean. It has taken us since mid-November to get this working. We started by adding a modem and ended up replacing the tuner, the wiring, and finally replacing the entire radio. We now know much more about HF radios than we ever thought we would.
Communications from wherever and whenever is a core requirement on this trip. Ain't technology grand?!

  1. YEAH!!! I am so glad this is working for you. Not that you have to use it, but that you can if you choose to use it! I agree, communicating is paramount in this adventure. Those of us based on terra firma would miss hearing from you too much as well you know! 2 sides to this coin.
