Paul Harris was always on the phone. Here Paul is using the SATELLITE Phone, from memory I think these were issued from a company called Globalstar with the antenna mounted in the lid of the brief case, the voice was usable but the data rate was typically 1200 baud and very slow to use, they were later replaced with smaller Iridium Satellite phones – 1990’s – (Courtesy of Berwickshire news)
