    Are you a licensed amateur radio operator who believes ham radio should evolve beyond voice contacts and digital modes? We’re building a monitored relay network that bridges amateur radio with modern IoT and messaging systems—creating resilient, internet-independent emergency communications when disasters strike.

    The site says they tried and failed in the past. Will history repeat itself? :rolleyes:

    Hasn't this been done before?
    I vaguely remember that this was once called 'packet radio'... :rolleyes:

    Guys, Thanks for the feedback, all good. But one point overlooked is that this is less about the engineering and more about opening up to include the current interest from the IoT community. Current Ham based links don't offer connectivity for none-licensed systems. That's why I use the old "Phone Patch" example.

    If connectivity over "non-licensed systems" is the draw for the IOT crowd, why does it need ham radio at all? Another solution in search of a problem.
