Rally Point Details:
We had our first Communications Round Table this week. Once again, we have seen that this is not only an important topic, but also a broad one.
We talked about the different radio applications for overlanders in Europe such as PMR, Freenet, CB and HAM radio, mobile devices versus handheld radios, proper wiring and installation, regulations, licensing requirements and more and exchanged experiences with radio comms.
However, we also talked about satellite communications such as messaging, tracking and also emergency communications with a satellite messenger such as the inReach. Communication is not only an important but also a wide field. The interest in it is correspondingly big and there is much we can talk about, learn and share.
We have therefore agreed to hold another Comms Talk in the near future and to extend it to other communication technologies on the road in addition to radio comms. But we will focus on comms in Europe so that we are in a regulatory and jurisdictionally comparable environment.
Everybody is welcome to attend. Just join via skype:
