another update on Glenn

Thanks Footie, he appreciates that,

yes Leigh, he is relieved not to have to deal with corrugations for the rest of the trip, and his son is very happy now.

Lyn

Lets not be too quick to judge people we have heard something maybe third hand about eh?

Andrew, he's looking forward to being here next week..

Lyn

He was going to the restaurant last night to have a big fat hamburger, so perhaps left his phone in the room, I'm sure he'll have his cdma on today.

Lets not be too quick to judge people we have heard something maybe third hand about eh? I like Big Red Kangawoos!

Now I KNOW that would not be lovely Mrs BigKidz taking the Michael out of my well intentioned retort, and I know you LOVE big wed kangaWOOS Mr BigKidz, I take it you mean the ones on the sides of QANTAS airplanes that take one to far off European places, I am sure Mrs BigKidz would LOVE a trip over there once I get in her ear and tell her the WONDERFUL things that are to be experienced........

Just get the right Sat phone on the right system and things would be different.

I think he was very keen, or more to the point, James was very keen..

thanks for your advice, I'm sure Glenn will be in touch with you he has your number.

Lyn

Good points to make Phil. I remember when Baz was up in the Strathbogies, Bruce had a message up for me before I got home. Baz phoned us because he had the numbers, I phoned Truckster. It primed people to look to responses. Ultimately it was Baz' contact with the local constabulary that had them out with their 2by Exploder........ but there was an EO member not too far away up the slope. The EO linkage was a common point of contact.

The water container issue is a good way to think, multiple containers, we do it that way. Glenn had poured it from a jerry can to the tank though didn't he. Hmmm Like to contailerise things a bit like keeping some water containers inside a heavier crate to reduce movement. The portapottie has been like that since the start.

JR,

"water containers" - "portapottie" - STOP, my stomach is doing backflips LOLOL

Hi Phil. I confess to being a huge supporter of VKS 737 having listened several times to the efforts they go to, the quality of advice and the resources they can marshall from almost nowhere. I always travel with satphone, cos I can, but I rely upon VKS 737 to know what's going on and the HF radio for the footy scores. Just would not consider any other substitute. Just my opinion though!! Cheers

Hi Leigh,
We think alike. I'm also a huge fan of VKS (S7231) and log in daily while I'm away. I have nothing but praise for the work done by them. I have friends with satphones, which backs it up nicely!!!

What I was thinking is that sometimes, like in Glenns case, someone with a satphone just needs some advice. And a phone call to someone who puts their question on the forum, may be useful.

Cheers
Phil
