Hi folks,
Last weekend I got in a bit of ham-radio work while doing my
AFF Stage 3 jump (well, _after_ the chute opened at least),
at the Newcastle Sport Parachute Club, Elderslie NSW.
I've put the question about on voice and packet but had no
definitive answer yet to the following question.
Has this been done before, specifically in Australia? I expect
it's common enough in the U.S., and I've had hints that somebody
did it in Melbourne a few years ago, but I'd like to know for sure.
Any ideas anybody?

Thanks,
Richard.
