I think that would work OK John.  The only thing you would have to do is 
be sure and make schedules on the internet the same time as the radio so 
as to be sure that the stations logged eachother at the same time.  You 
might also use Pow-Wow.  That way you could actually talk to eachother.  
That or Internet Phone.  Think I'll sell my radios and get some more 
computers.
