EP19 - Navegando en solitario por el Cantábrico con mi AIS chino.

In this episode, and with the intention of completing our AIS receiver, we are going to test the cheapest AIS emitter that we have found. And best of all: it works great, even though it is sold as a fishnet locator. It is the Socotran Net Locator, and we have tested it in depth, taking advantage of the tests to show you a little bit of the Cantabrian Sea in a couple of days of solo sailing. And all that with a little humor and wit.
