The following is a message from SafecomLink:
SafecomLink has published a new case study documenting live AI-based weather routing over HF radio north of the Arctic Circle. Sailor Harley Soltes (LA/KN7H) used SafecomLink with a Pactor 4 link to access the Safie AI assistant from his vessel off the Norwegian coast — establishing a connection to a land station in Austria (OE3FQU) on 14.120 MHz, then reaching the open internet, with no cellular coverage, no satellite service, and no shore-side infrastructure.
The real-time two-way AI conversation provided wind forecasts and a day-by-day crossing comparison for the passage to Lofoten, Norway. After completing the passage, Soltes reported the AI forecast was more accurate than his usual weather apps and far faster than the WinLink email method he previously used.
This is pretty game-changing — to have fast Pactor 4 communication from sea to a real-time internet AI connection. — Harley Soltes, LA/KN7H
