Hi,
Not sure I see that anyone is trying to keep the "50 or so hams" from "getting a message back to home". I really thought the number to be much, much larger given it is the argument used for alot of Winlink2000. Is this the real crux of the discussion? If so, that is alot of RF bandwidth per ham (BWPH?), with commercial alternatives to serve the same purpose. 73 Bill M9DSJ --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, John Becker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > After looking at the winlink position report page there must > be 50 or so hams at sea.
