This is a relatively simple thing to do. Take your ronco flashlight out in the front yard, point it up at the sky, and in morse code, tap out "hello world". Write down the time you did it. Your message is now "stored" in a physical medium. All you need to do to retreive it, is to calculate how far its traveled, and go stand in front of it to read it. Same principle applies if using a fiber loop instead of pointing it straight up. Yes, you will need to refresh the signal now and then. ok. means for doing so has been in steady use for 40 years.
