So, what was the message they sent over the network? "Hey, did you hear the latest about Charlie Sheen?"

Messages had to simple and most likely warnings about territorial intruders?
I don’t think they would have had anything for “Don’t eat the fish”.

I don't care what the physical media is, x.25 packets can be imposed on it. Homing pidgeons? Sure, bandwidth is great latency is high. Fires at night on hilltops? Low bandwidth, short latencies.
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a 747 full of tape reels. Latency on the order of 1.4e6 ms, though.

Yet in AZ similar communication methods were used. Mirrors and flags went from quite a few locations. Picket Post Mountain near Superior was so named as one of the locations. I don’t know many others except Pinal Mountain at the head of Dripping Springs Wash. Fort Apache, near White River was a receiving location as well.

I also presume Signal Hill in our Tucson area was used for similar purposes.
I was just pointing out that the typical 50+ mile visibility we have here is better than that in North Wales....:^)

Yep. Growing up in Superior I was always interested in the ruins of old towns and roads in the area. Living in western Oregon now, I quite doubt such a comunication system would work given the fog and rain that we have daily. I’d imagine our weather is a lot like Wales. We miss the Arizona climate.
