I'm not much of an expert but it's basically low power UHF radios that use a particular waveform and FFT process to decode signals that are well below background noise. My radio regularly picks up messages with an SNR -10. I like it to the GPS system's algorithms.

The main drawback is that, because they're low power, you have to have LOS between antennas.

I'm in thr US and had to order mine from Aliexpress. Those were some long weeks of waiting.

They operate in bands intended for stuff like LoRa and IoT. So there's no danger of messing with other systems.

Not that far. Most LoRa systems use UHF bands so you need LoS to get these super low powered radios to work.

This is LoRa but there's heavy crossover with the HAM community.

It's just the right amount of DIY to be engaging and so cheap to get into. Plus the discord community is really active.

Meshtastic long range radio systems. Off grid, user created, low bit rate but stupid long range.

Pepitas? ...fuck me.

Hey I've got the same preferences as you. I just go with bisexual and call it a day.

Yeah, ever since she decided to weigh in on the transgender "debate" with a "science says you don't exist" take I've moved on. That and the really odd "Yay Capitalism!" Video.

It's always important to evaluate whether the speaker is an actual expert in the field they're talking about or are they an expert in a different field and just think they can speak to subjects outside their field with the same authority.

Wife skipped her morning work out and had some fun with me instead. Not quite as exciting as the previous week but still good times all around.
