Subject: Sending Nav Info
From: Dan Allen (danallen@XXX.XXX)
Date: Tue Nov 23 1999 - 10:16:54 EST
Goal: to send the current position while traveling around the world via SSB
radio automatically every hour to an email address.
Possible solution: read location from a GPS via NMEA into a laptop, then
create a short email with this information in it and send it out under
computer control via a SSB marine radio into the internet. (I'm new to the
SSB world so I do not know quite how this is to be done, but I am starting
to research it all...)
Does anyone have any experience with trying to do something like this? It
is an interesting blend of old (SSB) and new (GPS/Internet) techologies...
Ideas? Thoughts? Witty remarks? ;-)
