Yes, you would need a ham license to legally operate it. Not hard though, honestly.

Phase 2 will be adding reticulum network support both for ham bands, and Lora devices. You don't need a license for they as you know. But the range, while amazing is nothing like HF ham bands. I was chatting deep into Russia last night from AZ..... Can't do that on anything but HF.

Best way to follow progress? Do you have a github repo? I'm into meshtastic and this integration with nostr interest me too obviously.

Thanks!

I’m definitely going to get a Ham radio license too. I’m looking forward to following your progress.

I’m interested in Recticulum too, but starting my learning with Meshtastic.

Very cool. Reticulum is huge. Awesome protocal and interoperability between internet, lora, ham radio, and really any type of modem or serial connection you can think of. amazing.

Thanks!

We’re getting our feet wet and learning on Meshtastic nodes now. We may set up parallel Recticulum nodes in the future.
