Re: MilliWatt asynchronous antipodal communication
Reg,
I am probably stating the obvious and oversimplifying but WSPR is a great starting point to really see low power propagation.? I am in Northern Illinois, USA and have been running a RPi Zero W

Please reply to the original Introduction thread rather than start a new one
The idea is to make it easy to learn a bit more about someone before you reply to them. There is a very wide range of education and experience in the list. It is my hope this will help improve the

Re: MilliWatt asynchronous antipodal communication
I expect it would have to be mulithop for that distance. However, there was a WSPR report of UK to Australia by Jenny List of Hackaday using a single frequency at 100 mW IIRC. So clearly possible. I
