Wifi Onboard

CaptainJohn49 on Youtube (HERE) states that he is able to receive Wifi from 2-3 miles away. Would that be useful on a boat? You betcha! Here is the block diagram:

Radar-Reflectors-Report

Here are the recommendations · Based on the results of this report it is recommended that yachtsmen always fit a radar reflector that offers the largest RCS practicable for their vessel. · The RCS of the radar reflector should have a minimum consistent RCS of 2m2. · The Sea-Me is the recommended product if power is available · If power is not available then the passive Large Tri-Lens reflector is recommended · The 4” tube reflector is not considered suitable due to its poor performance. It is also recommended that the 2” tube reflector is not suitable since the performance of this target will be even lower. · It is recommended that poorly performing radar reflectors are not fitted as it is possible that the user could be lulled into a false sense of security believing that their chances of detection have been enhanced.
