My business partner's father (ZL2AL) passed last year and I know he'd be chuffed to see all this HAM talk on HN :-) He demoed the process to me last time I saw him (back in New Zealand). It was amazing to see the speed with which the he (and the other operators) could relay messages around the world. He wrote a bit about his many adventures on his blog (http://www.zl2al.com/ http://www.zl2al.com/). I guess there may even be other HAM operators on here that knew him.
