Since Im running a 10 days Cross Country Jungle Raid this August, Im wondering...is there a possibility to<br>transmit " live " from the jungles what we're doing using the internet? I mean..we'll be criss crossing some hills and in the past, Ive been abled to make calls from one of those jungle-clad hills.<br>Any ideas and suggestions on " How did they do it? "

FishNet Explore has been doing that for a few years in the Amazon using a portable generator, satelite phone & laptop computer. John Benn at [email]JBenn@petsforum.com.[/email] is the person who actually set up the expiditions as well as coordinate the technical aspects of communications.<br><br>BTW, it wasn't easy and it's very expensive.

You might contact an Amateur Radio enthusiast who is into Amateur TV or Slow Scan TV They could transmit it to a studio for you if there isn't a lisence problem. Amateurs aren't allowed to use thier gear, skill or lisence for business purposes in most countries. Or you could get an inexpensive Video Camera (somewhere between $500 and $3000) and film your activities for later publication when you return.
