> There's also TCP/IP (Internet) via HAM radio (packet radio) I get the idea and the spirit behind using ham radio to evade censorship, but... - you're not allowed to run encrypted content over ham packet radio, at least by regulations, plain HTTP is fine but anything SSL is not... don't be a dick and ruin the fun for everyone else. - ham radio comms is, outside of emergencies such as widespread blackouts or natural disasters, supposed to only be between ham radio operators themselves - no message-passing for others. - at least in the long-range bands that you'd actually use for cross-country communications, bandwidth is scarce - and you may disturb a lot of people by doing that, or by just blasting around with huge transmitters... Monday late evening in Germany, try to listen in on 80m, there's so damn many Russians on there with extremely powerful transmitters. Ham radio frequencies are scarce enough as it is and politicians, particularly in authoritarian countries, already aren't happy about it (in North Korea, for example, it's banned and it's one of the rarest countries to DX with). Please don't make life for hams more complex than it already is by abusing what it stands for. | ||

Packet radio is also extremely slow - this seems like a terrible option. |
