This is a very nifty project. They are doing great things for the locals and the crazy tourists that climb the "hill". I can't help but think that some of what they are doing must feel much like the hams had to feel when someone did the first cross country or moon bounce shot. Ordinary folks taking ordinary gear and using it in extraordinary ways. Wish I could go.
