[PSUBS-MAILIST] cell phone link

[Sean T. Stevenson via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank, if that's the case you could run a dedicated data cable to your buoy, or even run a cell booster with coax up to the buoy.  What diameter is the line you're currently using?  Another option is optical fiber, but then you have additional hardware cost on both ends.
