 JS8Call is the kind of thing that happens when a software dev becomes a ham.  JS8Call can use weak signals to create network radio stations around the world.  Just imagine what software and hardware will get built when more bitcoin devs become hams.

In this video, Jordan Sherer, KN4CRD the creator of JS8Call gives a presentation to the North Fulton Amateur Radio League on his program.

 Wouldn't the low bitrate make it almost impossible to transfer any useful data over such low bands? Also the lack of (permitted) encryption is also a serious challenge in my opinion. - PJ2XX 
 I’ve been curious about digital modes. Loved this talk. Thanks for sharing! 
 Would be interested to learn more about how to xmit BTC using Ham radio. Which modes could be used? I assume the TCP/IP layer is still required at some point in the process? Knowing that Ham radio is not (may not be) encrypted,  would your private keys be exposed if you tried to send BTC to another wallet via the Ham bands? Digital modes are getting better & better - I especially like LORA/Meshtastic - Very cool stuff - 73, Ernie, HB9GUF
