@JustEnoughDucks@crazyminner LoRa #APRS on 433 MHz is actually quite useful and fun. Tracking with very low power works quite well if you have a network. Take a look at what people have done with it in much of Europe, as well as Denver, Chicago, etc.
Exactly, that is not communication like ham radio though. Hence why i said for IoT and automation. Tons of potential for sending small sensor packets! Just not communication in my opinion unless you want specifically text messages and no voice during an emergency for some reason.

What passes for communication in ham radio is usually just long winded monologuing. Which isn’t a conversation.
