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.
