Having near world wide comms coverage with any infrastructure is extremely satisfying. And you learn it of physics for free. The new kids are really being the hobby back with JS8&FT8 digi modes on QRP(low power), itโ€™s really neat. As comercial stuff loses interest in sub 30mhz, the pectrum is wide open for experimentation and no more encroachment into ham bands.

Absolutely! I think I have a project for my kid when he is older..

I would still need to get a license to operate one, right?

Yes, to transmit. Not to receive (in NA)

Good to know. Thanks!

So in order to broadcastย  a bitcoin TX VIA HAM i need to get a license. I think I'm going to do it.

Probably would be better if you didnโ€™t get a license, forcing you to do it in an untraceable manner, which would be much more useful.

Those laws are tyrannical imo.

https://www.arrl.org/getting-licensedย  TIL you need to pass a test to use HAM radio.

Francis? ๐Ÿ˜‰

*fuck the state*

state or no state I don't know what I'm doing. I need to learn this stuff.

like fr tho

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŽค

Yup. Where I am they are 10x harder but do it once for life. Same for call signs. Mine till i die, my family gets first dibs on them too.

Iโ€™ve got a license. All I remember from the training is to not broadcast music and to say your call sign every 10ish minutes.

I don't mean to brag or anything, but my wife is has her HAM radio operator license.ย ๐Ÿ˜‚

She must really love you if she married a non HAM ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Tell her your are her XYL before you google it.

Will do, one sec.

"honey, i haven't touched a HAM radio since 8th grade or maybe 10th grade...i don't know what that means..."

You dropped this ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘‘

Iโ€™m not sure how easy that is to execute though, to be honest.

Iโ€™ve been wondering if anyone has thought to persist a signal of the current block and how easy that would be/well that would work

If blocks were below 300kb we could board cast them whole via lower HF bands. Essentially buy all the failing AM stations and make them into block broadcasters, without half hemisphere reach on a bad day.

Blockcasters - like the old town clock, but far better

Yes, and do it! The license test learning is actually a good education on the subject

Would FM tx Bitcoin?

HF is the ultimate decentralized protocol.ย Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Radio.

Which is better? Js8 or ft8? Never looked into this before

I love JS8, FT8 is the original protocol but I donโ€™t like how its used.
