Easily a lifesaver out in the sticks and as a backup for cell service. You'd think in a congested neighborhood lower frequencies should be less prone to reflecting off every surface so bad.
I love this already, and even with bandwidth in the kHz, that's perfect for messaging and keeping a pilot light on.- which, let's say a global event shuts down cell service and many neighbors have a bookmark to log in - at that point give the best ones a login for the secondary doomsday neighborhood web server. LOL
Any of you have a fort when you were a kid? This is what it feels like... treehouse to treehouse... "Mr Farmer this is code name Rice paper - paging low salt Triscuits... over" LOL
