I guess what gets you P.O.'d is the P.O., eh? :-)

But I was wondering:
  Apparantly there are a few newsfeeds around here that are
transferred via HAM radio.  Is this kind of thing a viable
alternative vs. the phone lines in Europe?  It seems there
*should* be some kind of available transmission frequencies that
could be used, but don't know about the legal aspects re various
countries.
  It also might be useful in fairly remote regions of the world,
too.
