We have been running our satellite phone/Internet alot lately, well because its necessary to communicate. One dilemma is it has had trouble starting in the cold mooring (for me 40 deg f should not bother anything) in technical terms "the dog is not locking in on the bird" . So are good friend Danny from big bend tel came by, he had some novel advice "leave the phone on". As some of you out there already know we would love to, but our power system which does everything we need to do, does not completely power the 2kwh a day satellite. BBT is getting a 24 volt updated sat board for us to try soon So we are trying to work with big bent tel to do a 24 volt satellite only power system with our 100% free labor and as many parts as we can afford to donate. We are also going to try to work on some power management for the beast, the first steep of course is direct DC power.
So are friends, family and fans of this site will be happy we are improving our communications as soon as possible, or in west Texas time the next several months.
