[imc-tech-solidarity] radio e mail in Africa

[anarch3m]

frequency is proportional to transfer rate.  Even LF can support packet.  Very slowly.

Faster (higher) becomes more line of sight.  Except for interference with molecules like with water for "microwave) there is no problem with powering up  802 over long distances- until the horizon is reached...that can be pretty far if you can get the electricity to elevation.

I'm supposing the equip was 1.5 meter?  perhaps much less. hence the low transfer.

Modern encriptions can help.

Ham gear is all available even 2nd hand.  A good place to look is Radio Trader.  Perhaps we could induce donations even...
