I had hoped by now signals would have been received from the GSM transmitter but nothing has come in which could mean that he died or was killed on the Sahara Desert crossing, or he is at a wetland, possibly western Mali which does not have mobile phone reception, or that the transmitter has failed. The GSM transmitters give incredible detail but the disadvantage is that the osprey has to pass a mobile phone mast to send data. The older GPS transmitters gave less data but would give a last known location. Fingers crossed.
