Gerry Creager, N5JXS, ran a program names "Cows in Space" He attached GPS receivers, TNC and transmitter to cattle on an Texas A & M University 5000 acre test site in South Texas and tracked the movement of cattle.
I don't know the real purpose, but I think it was to track where the cattle dropped a pie and had freshmen ag students go out and check the pie...they were doind a cattle nutrition research study. Now tell me that amateur radio isn't into hig tech science.
