Consider this as well.
Generally speaking…
In the world of HAM radio the activity “is” the use of the radio itself, sometimes referred to as “making contacts” and transmitting data.
Whereas in the world of GMRS and FRS radio we use GMRS and FRS radios while doing the many outdoor recreational activities we engage in. 4x4/overlanding, Camping, hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, fishing, hunting, etc…
I hope that was helpful.
GMRS seems like a good middle ground. Not sure if my immediate peer group is down to get ham certified.
I have heard that you can transmit bitcoin transactions over HAM. Generally speaking, how easy/realistic is that?
It’s crazy that you mention this. I’m in the process of studying how this can be done at scale. I am not a HAM radio operator, however I’m in a group that has many experienced HAMs who will assist me getting licensed if I choose as well as give me the insight I need on your (our) question regarding transmitting Bitcoin transactions over radio frequencies.
