Neat but it is also worth looking into LOrA

From the post:

>The modern cellular network is a marvel of technological advancement that we often take for granted now. With 5G service it’s easy to do plenty of things on-the-go that would have been difficult or impossible even with a broadband connection to a home computer two decades ago. But it’s still reliant on being close to cell towers, which isn’t true for all locations. If you’re traveling off-grid and want to communicate with others, this guide to using Winlink can help you send emails using a ham radio.

As a commenter mentioned

Why use a proprietary protocol when AX.25 has already been the standard for thirty years? APRS has email entry nodes, doesn’t involve proprietary anything, and leverages an existing network of thousands of nodes worldwide—including several HF nodes.

Amateur radio should never involve proprietary algorithms, codecs, or protocols. That is entirely opposed to the entire purpose and spirit of amateur radio.

I agree. I'm interested in doing this. I'm buying a new transmitter and want to leverage this technology because I believe the tyrants want to destroy society. I believe digital communications is essential. Ham is the best alternative to using the internet. I'm not sure how effective LOrA is.
