🛰️ You can talk to the astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) with a $20 dollar ham radio and a little knowledge. 🌌
1. Get Licensed: You need a ham radio license, so start by passing the necessary exam.
2. Gear Up: Equip yourself with a ham radio setup capable of reaching VHF frequencies.
3. Track the ISS: Use online tools to find when the ISS will be overhead. See the link below.
4. Tune In: Dial into the ISS's frequency at 145.800 MHz for voice communication.
5. Call Out: When the ISS is in range, call and wait for a response. Remember, timing is everything due to the short communication window!
Join the unique circle of amateur radio enthusiasts who’ve reached out to space. 📡✨

What is a Blockstream Satellite Node:
A Blockstream Satellite Node broadcasts Bitcoin blockchain data via satellite, enhancing the Bitcoin network's accessibility, resilience and privacy. Could be done for less than $100 fiat:
1. ⚡️⚡️ Satellite Transmission: Transmits Bitcoin data, reducing reliance on internet connections.
2. ⚡️⚡️ Global Access: Provides Bitcoin data access in regions with limited internet.
3. ⚡️⚡️ Network Resilience: Increases resistance to internet disruptions.
4. ⚡️⚡️ Privacy Benefits: By not relying on local ISPs, which might monitor internet traffic, satellite nodes enhance privacy and reduce surveillance risks.
5. ⚡️⚡️ Equipment Needed: Requires a satellite dish, USB satellite receiver, and a computer.
6. ⚡️⚡️ Lower Costs: Reduces bandwidth costs in areas with expensive internet.
This system promotes Bitcoin network decentralization and ensures privacy by enabling access and participation without traditional internet dependency.
