I have received a number of requests about reeiving email via SSB Radio. For Hams there is a free system called WINLINK.org. Just do a google search and you wioll come up with the program and all the info....it is good, slow 9VIA RADIO) BUT i CAN GET EMAIL VIA WINLINK.ORG EVEN WHEN AT SEA OR ON SOME DESERTED ISLAND IN THE PACIFIC
Of course there are the sat. downlinks (commercial) , like PINOAK, etc, however they are expensivel
NON-hams should check out sailmail.com only 250j/year and you get your email via ssb radio with no individual message charge.
Someone asked about buying th modems. I, and some of my friends, have been using Farallon Electronics in Sausilito, CA. Exttremely good as far as support goes. Gary Wood is the PACTOR guy there.
