Mobile phone would be ideal! Sadly thats what we use at the moment and it means that we can only place checkpoints at places where there is a mobile signal, which on exmoor is not many places!

Has anybody used the Orbitor Antenna's? Is it worth going for the centre load one that is longer?

Are there any forms of radio comms that would go through hills?

Thanks

Mark
