Ham radio test

If you can read this then be happy in the knowledge that the blog has just been updated over the airways using a system called winlink via a ham radio. The ham radio on the boat has a chat with another radio somewhere, passes on this message then the other radio sends it to the internet. Very clever. Since I'm moored up in London with lovely fast wifi it might have been a more direct route to use that but where's the fun in that :) If this works in London then it should work anywhere out on the deep blue sea.

If the boat ever makes it back there..
