Amateur Radio

I have been interested in amateur radio (or ham radio if you’re more familiar with this term) as of late and it occurred to me that this could make for a great network for net.art pieces. One idea I had was to have operators connect on the same frequency and each play a particular portion of music simultaneously (for example, one person could play the drum section for a song and another the guitar section for the same song or even an entirely different song). I would want to try and limit the number of users per frequency so that it doesn’t come out as just noise, but this could definitely make for some interesting music. I don’t have the knowledge currently of ham radio to pull something like this off, but I really like the idea of it (especially if non-operators could tune in and listen).
