Ham radio is very cool. I am always surprised Bitcoiners are not more into it.

It would be very cool if Bitcoiners started joining & taking over ham radio clubs and started teaching old school hams about Bitcoin.

A great gateway would be making a club project of setting up a blockstream satellite node using the ham radio skills to get the signal from the satellite. So much crossover appeal. Bitcoin satellite nodes would also get young people excited to get into ham.


This would also make a great topic for someone who speaks at public Bitcoin events.

I love this idea. What’s the basic cost of setting up your own home equipment?

Depends on the antenna and bands you want to play on. A really good transceiver will run $800+. Can easily spend another 800 on accessories and antenna. Get liscensed first!

Ham is cool, but feels like we can do better. I'm into this: https://github.com/markqvist/NomadNet 73

Where would I even begin? Love the idea. Just I don’t think I’ve learned enough about bitcoin yet. My knowledge is very small. But I’d focus on the basics too

I remember from childhood people having dedicated buildings to ham radios. They were enthusiasts.

MURS and 900mhz ISM is even cooler than ham radio, you can use encryption and no stupid license needed. There are bitcoin projects that use these like Locha Mesh and TxTenna
