SPOT Transmission Log
Each of our SPOT Transmissions (generally: Morning Tea, Lunch and Camp) is plotted below on the elevation profile with a Tick – – for a successful transmission and a Cross – – for an unsuccessful transmittion. The shade of green indicates the density of the canopy, with dark green being the densest and the lightest being 0% canopy. The photograph is generally a photo taken at the time of the transmission, or of the actual location.
Over the period of the walk we ended up sending a total of 143 messages (thankfully no emergency or 'come and get me' messages), of which 137 were successfully received and transmitted by the satellites and 6 failed. This 96% success rate is about the same as the 97% I recorded on my SPOT2 Battery Testing.
Success | 137 | 96% |
Failure | 6 | 4% |
Total | 143 | 100% |
