Ham radio is not just for folks who want to talk around the world on the radio
Not that there's anything wrong with talking around the world, I hope. It's what internet users *try* to do in their lame, cryptic KB code and the "killer app" voice technology hasn't yet built a community space where all-can-hear-all. The ham community is & should remain the world's best long distance, durable, ongoing community of users.
You're absolutely correct that wireless *is* the technology that will packet-connect rural areas - that's been obvious since 2001 when Wi-Fi lab development made clear that stable distance signalling and relay is possible.
I'm not a ham user, never been a ham user but have the utmost respect for the ham community and often look with envy upon their friendly relationships that span cultures & continents. Good on ya for any work that advances Wi-Fi's penetration into rural markets. |
