There are many variations which are most dependent on the location of your remote site and requested data rate. You will need an Antenna, Antenna mount (you can have a non penetrating mount or a king post), proper cabling along with one of two popular types of systems available: L-band and 70mhz.

Cameras with extra film, batteries, lens cleaner, and lens caps, a pair of binoculars for each person in your group, battery charging equipment, and a headlamp (useful if you feel the need to read at night). All camps and lodges have sufficient lighting, but not always enough, I feel, to read by.

Yes, some of the camps will publish a list of items (clothes, shoes, and equipment) that they would like their students to bring with them. For example, the Playwriting/Screenwriting Camp recommends that each student bring a laptop computer and tape recorder with them.

The most common one is the INT (INT stands for international). There is an O-ring around the tank valve opening, which acts as a seal between the first stage regulator and tank valve.

In this case the O-ring, which creates a seal between them, is at the first stage regulator.

We recommend that you bring a lightweight waterproof in case of showers.

Snorkellers may want to bring their own gear to save on the cost of hire. Dive gear is readily available and more convenient to hire here.

Downlink sites may use a fixed or transportable antenna (dish) or television-receive-only (TVRO) earth station to receive the downlink. Downlink viewing sites should provide meeting space, viewing screen options, and access to a telephone for use during question-and-answer periods. A half-hour test pattern (from 12:30 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. EDT) will run on April 16th to allow downlink sites to tune their dishes.
