You can use VHF or UHF packet, or WINMOR on HF, or as a last resort (if a gateway cannot be reached) the telnet option.  Not intended to be a race to get the message through as fast as possible....just access a gateway when you can and look for traffic.  I'm thinking a few days to a week for the message to make the loop, depending upon the number of participants.
