hi all, been awhile, have been busy getting my wide load pilotting business up and running,,, have a good reputation so far apparently,, anyway does anyone use sat phones or hf radio's when they venture off into remote areas,, this is the next thing I need to look at for my business but am not sure which way to go,, sat phone or hf radio, need value for money now that I'm self employed,, was thinking of rental of a sat phone when i know i'll be pilotting into a remote area but am not sure

If you buy or rent, both have business tax benifets. I have both, sat phone with $200 prepaid credit for less than $1000, Hf radio around $3500 to $5000 to set up. Both have different benifets. Sat ph you can call for assistance but it my be 1000 of km away, hf you call a base station but there maybe help over the next sand dune (you wont hear them but they will hear the base station taking to you). So I use uhf, hf radio, sat ph, ebirb roughly in that order and always carry them all. remote travel is wonderful but you do need to carry all forms of communication that you can. do it safe and stay alive cheers blaze
