Hi All,
Pat and I are parked at
Camp 9 on the
Madigan Line having just succeeded in connecting our loan internet device.
We are using a Inmarsat R-BGAN 2 way satellite device the size of a small notebook providing a roadband connection. A
Brisbane company has loaned us the equipment to
test it out in the Simpson now and Western deserts later in the year.
It finally makes up for the flakey signal with the Globalstar.
The desert, you just gotta love it!
Back at Mt Dare for June and July.
Cheers
Ian@Mt Dare
