Hello all, I have a good friend and former coworker who has a communications problem. She's in the TXANG and remembered that I was a ham, so she asked if I could help. I've done all I could (which admittedly, wasn't much) but I did tell her I'd pass her problem along to the group and see if you could help.
Here's her question: I know that HF ALE to SMS texting is possible. What I'm wondering is could that be a workable communications option from an aircraft operating at 4500-9000'? I've tried a satcom InReach with disappointing results. Frankly, any and all ideas are entertainable at this point. I have L band and S band antennas; I can possibly replace with a different antenna as long as it can occupy the same footprint as a currently installed one. We have UHF/VHF and FM radios... I will find out more about those... I had to look up HF ALE, sounds a little like Winmail or Sailmail (the one ham op sailors use to send email?) but I'm not sure if that's what she wants. Can anyone help out 'Sarge?' 73 all, Rob, KC5RET
