IP Over HAM Radio Roadmap

A structured path to establishing censorship-resistant communication networks using IP over HAM radio.

Phase 1: Research & Licensing

Understand regulatory requirements and obtain an amateur radio license to legally operate HAM radio equipment.

Phase 2: Equipment & Setup

Acquire necessary hardware, such as transceivers, TNCs, and antennas, and set up a basic HAM radio station.

Phase 3: Experimentation with Digital Modes

Learn and test digital transmission protocols like AX.25, Winlink, and packet radio for data communication.

Phase 4: Implementing IP Networking

Explore AMPRNet (44.0.0.0/8) and mesh networking techniques to establish IP-based communication over HAM radio.

Phase 5: Deployment & Community Building

Develop a resilient, decentralized network and educate others on setting up their own censorship-resistant communication systems.
