The VP6DX group was using a phone from a different satellite phone company
and it uses a different technology. The Clipperton group had very calm seas
on the way down and were able to keep a connection but that's not the case
on the way back to San Diego.

Well, the reason I asked was that I assumed it could be done from the
ship. The VP6DX group made their final updates that way, and the
Clipperton group was updating their page while they were on their way to
Clipperton. So, I wondered why it was different. I didn't mean it to be
deemed a naive question.

The satellite phone they have requires a beamed signal to the satellite
and in the rough sea with the ship rocking and rolling they can't keep a
connection. It worked fine when they were on land.

Anyone know why they haven't posted any more updates on their logs? The
last update was almost 2 days before they pulled the plug.
