Satellite phone arrives

We've taken a satellite phone with us on the last few rallies after some friends and family all thought it would be a good idea. We've decided to stop renting satellite phones and actually purchase our very own Rusty Rhinos satellite phone. So after much searching around, we picked up a used Hughes 7100 satellite phone that uses the Thuraya satellite network.



Coverage on the Thuraya network is perfect for the areas we'll be travelling to or are likely to travel to.

This marks another important addition to the equipment toolbox that we take with us on a rally.
