So, not to change direction of the thread which is very good info for others ignorant on this communication means, someone going out cruising it sounds like would typically have a
SSB with a Pactor III modem with sailmail to access/use email and a ham license if they wanted to utilize the service of Herb? Is that correct?
I'm probably the most ignorant on this as I have trouble getting my head around all the communication equipment and means without someone pointing and describing.
