Ok, so here's the plan. We take an SSB transceiver and a microphone so 
we can do manual RTTY by playing C6 for the 'Mark' tone and A5 for 
'Space' tone; they are very nearly 170 Hz apart and would make a 
melancholy minor 3rd chord, sympathetic to the sea gulls. With the 
correct musical score we should be able to "play" RYRY CQ DX, etc. It 
shouldn't be to hard to  twiddle these two notes at a 45.5 baud tempo. I 
think that I can get us there in a friend's boat. Think about it: 
activating NA-141 on RTTY the hard way!

Of course, this assumes that the piano is playable!
