Thanks for the link, Trollercoaster. This is the kind of thing I was after, though I still have to link a few dots on this subject; to get my head around it. There's a guy in the next village to us with quite an impressive folding HAM radio rig, about 20-30 ft. tall. I'll have to get into conversation.
some dd-wrt capable routers can operate in lower frequencies, the one with atheros chip...but it will only be activated by paying the devs..there is openwrt too..
with computers and routers operating in HAM frequencies we can setup..
Ion towers (individual)
Ion mesh (communities)
Ionosphere (global network)
Ionites (satellites)
