  • Of course. Im thinking of something like cb, but more casual. Keep using CB as-is for longer range important stuff with proper radio etiquette, but require the super short range yap network as basic local comms. And yeah gov’t could have a dedicated channel with high power for traffic alerts, give NOAA a channel, etc. Have the receive function work passively like a scanner.


  • True. Very likely that channel would be jammed into hell pretty quick. My suggestion: have a digital callsign related to your VIN built into the radio. And as much as I hate proprietary hardware, make the radio not work without it. If you tx without it, same or worse penalties as ie jamming a ham band.

    That said I’m totally putting a botnet on the inter-car network and using it for a distributed pirate radio station lol






  • I could see LoRa radio nodes making deep-forest IoT sensors possible. Have a solar station with starlink provide internet access, then use it as a LoRa (or other packet radio) modem for a couple-mile radius of sensors. Each sensor package could be a fairly cheap box with sensor, solar power and a radio. Would be super easy to deploy hundreds of those, all served by the same completely autonomous satellite station, and cheap to replace failing hardware (just see which nodes stop talking and send replacements when a bunch fail).


  • “Below” is used as a stranded preposition in your case (the more generally accepted usage), whereas the original post uses it at an adjective. While usage of “below” as an adjective is not universal, it is still accepted by some dictionaries. I could only find the Webster English Dictionary as an example, so I suppose it’s mostly exclusive to American English. So yes, your example is the more universal mode (as well as my personal preference), but American English generally accepts the above usage as proper grammar. (The sentence above, as well as this one, demonstrate the usage of “above,” a relative locus, as both an adjective and a preposition in modern English).
