I don't know why he hasn't heard from the ARRL but this is a fascinating
undertaking for Amateur Radio and science education!

http://www.amazonqueen.info/ is his current site.

All the pictures I have sent you, have previously been sent by Pactor III
(hf radio) into the internet.  I have resent them from my desk top here in
Bogotá Colombia to you.
Please go to www.spiderwebnet.net and click on Amazon Queen to see more
pictures of the Queen.
We are going to design a website which will allow schools to follow the
daily voyage of the Amazon Queen over a distance of 6,000 miles as we
navigate out to the Atlantic Ocean and back to Colombia. The first testing
of this site will be in October of this year.  The long voyage will be in
March or April of 2004.
In two days you will be able to see more information about Pactor III on the
www.spiderwebnet.net listed under Amazon Queen ...then click Pactor III.
I have written a lengthily letter to ARRL about linking schools to the
Amazon Queen including pictures...guess what ....nothing from them.
Pactor is by SCS....look up SCS Pactor III
If you decide to set up an expedition, mission in the jungles, search and
rescue, or navigate the seas ... Pactor III will allow you to send pictures
of the quality I sent to you.  Pactor I will work for email, but not very
well for pictures.
Take care,  Phil
HK3SA
Captain of the Amazon Queen
