I was hoping it was an April Fool's joke, but unfortunately, it appears to
me that these people may even be serious. As I understand it, IRLP is
intended to let people with shacks on the belt work around the world
through Internet linking of VFH/UHF "nodes." Sort of like Echolink, I
think. They seem to be serious, but calling it a contest is really odious
to me.
