This is such excellent and encouraging information. While I am not disinterested in the power possibilities, I am more immediately curious about communication.
I am quite excited to hear that a powered transceiver is likely to be a real possibility, and with less than 1Kw!
My thoughts (which I believe many may share) reflect some concern that the "powers that be" might at some point seek to disrupt the internet. However, with independent network nodes "popping up" anywhere, that would become impossible.
It however sounds as though the bandwidth would be extremely limited? Actually, 30KHz-35KHz would support speech, but not much more. We have become quite used to and dependent upon an internet with a very high bandwidth to each subscriber. But even so, it would be of great interest to me to see if messages might be sent anywhere on the globe...
Thanks again for your feedback.
