Bad boys in Alaska
Alaskans have known about the bad boys for a long time. A great example is Bob Merritt, once a University of Alaska professor who helped pioneed the use of satellite communications in the biggest state. You can find a 1957 photo of Bob and his students working to pick up signals from Sputnik, the first artificial earth-orbiting satellite, at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Wi-Fi-and-the-Bad-Boys-of-Radio/275965759083075
