Nice story. any photos? I always like to see photos of the
tool/hardware in operation.

I was involved with a hillwalking festival at the weekend in Ireland,
which was tracking walkers, some being licensed operators.

The "non-licensed" people on the walk very impressed that a) people
were giving up their time to do it, and b) that there was useful
technology involved in amateur radio ("i thought you just listened to
ships" someone said to me).

Its a nice feeling when your hobby has an actual useful purpose.

thanks
