My dad and a friend used to transmit TI-BASIC programs to one another late at night over the 2-meter HAM band back in the mid 80s. They both had TI-99 computers with "tape drives" (really just a regular tape player set next to the computer) and microphones. One would key the mic on the HAM radio and hold it next to the tape player's speaker and the person on the other end would hold the radio speaker next to the TI-99's mic input. They shared code and collaborated on a few projects this way.
