Hello Mike,
Yes we seem to have gotten the tail end of the operation. HLF and ZSC
still operational, but it seems many of the ships are transferring
over to GW's Satcomm service. Not heard any of the Australian/New
Zealand shore stations recently.. Another nail in the coffin for
marine comms.
Looks like will have to have a look at Sailmail and GLN then.
