Here is one link that might help. I know there are several Ham radio and GPS coapps that people are using. I have friend who just purchased a GPS and uses it with his HAM Radio. He told me of a site where you can track where he is going from your browser. I will get the details if no one else responds.. http://www.hometoys.com/htinews/dec97/articles/skaja/skaja.htm Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Budlvr40@xxxxxxx To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 12:26 AM Subject: [GeoStL] gps beacon? Anybody who can help would be appreciated -Thanks in advance!! 01/29/03 I have a friend who merchant marines for monthes at a time to earn a living. His passion is sailing his 35 footer from port to port for the monthes he is not on the job. He is on his way from Cape Horn Af. to South America presently. Question; Is there such an animal as a gps beacon he could install on his boat that would transmit a signal that could be kept track of by way of the internet? Simple, inexpensive, and readily available would be wonderful, but I would love to talk about all suggestions . thanks, Bob Osterholt
