Oh this is awesome. In ancient times I set up email over uhf in a remote village in bougainville (the only link I can find is a paywalled pdf https://shop.ata.org.au/shop/renew-issue-84) We had to pretend to be a ship the mv sunrise to access a system that ran out of san diego that was only licensed to provide service to ships in international waters. There was an internet provider in the solomon islands that did something similar, but for political reasons they were not allowed to help.
