Satellite Phones and Research Trip

Hi all,
Must be about my last post before we leave on 4 weeks intensive outback research. We have now got it all and will give you some feedback when we return. We are taking the trusty Barrett 950 HF coupled with 4WD network & BushPhone service plus an Iridium Sat phone system. Actually, I hate having to take all this gear because it means that people can contact me during our very difficult and hard to take research trips. Anyway more upon our return coupled with a whole series of new treks and updates to some of our current ones.
See ya in the bush
David

BTW: Adventure Shop still operating whilst we are away however road conditions will be a little behind for a couple of weeks.

I feel sorry for you - intensive outback research for four weeks. I guess someone has to do it. We'll be thinking of you out there roughing it while we sit in our comfortable offices and enjoying the winter. Where are you going?

Still packing - Hate this bit. Anyway we are Romeo 455 with selcall 2455 on VKS 737 if you want to try to catch us. For those that asked we are heading to Birdsville via Anne Beadell - Simpson etc then back along the Gunbarrell. This was written up in our last user newletter number 27 - if you did not get it or read it then click on the Past Newsletter item in the mail list box on the left hand side. Bye Bye - I have the OziExplorer work to do now and try to close up the IT business for a few weeks. All the best.
