Sat Phones
Giday Aeropussy (sorry mate couldent help myself)
How are the blue dot Ambos these days.
I have operated aeromed in the NT where we reguraly used sat phones, installed and hand held for both operational and medical purposes.
With the hand held you just have to sit next to the window with the best signal while in the air. Canceling SAR on the ground works well for those times when you just can't get through the HF hole at Garden point or Sanke bay.
Any phone that works is a good alternative to HF and occasionaly the broken (or full of water) VHF re-trasmitter.
