Peter Bloom: We use the ionosphere as our satellite—or mirror—which helps us move information, voice, and data over really long distances. We’re using small radios that put out about 20 watts of power, and we can pretty reliably do 400 to 600 kilometer links between two radios."
That is some amazing distance for a very small amount of power!
