However, some bands such as UHF and Higher UHF can take particular advantage of sharp, square objects like buildings or tall mountains.

This is known as “Knife Edge…

HF radios work in almost every environment albeit some requiring certain antenna setups for good propagation. Handheld radio bands are much more terrain sensitive.

While VHF is beautiful in range in open environments such as Kansas it falls flat on its face in the…

With a handheld HAM or GMRS radio, you are not able to communicate more than several miles at most under ideal conditions and with a good Line-of-Site (LOS) pathway (someone being higher than the other, giving an elevation advantage). Any greater distance requires a repeater…

Well, this all comes down to what capabilities you need and also think are nice to have. In the same way I wouldn’t recommend a PRC 300 win mag rifle to someone who wants to start shooting past 300 yards, I wouldn’t recommend a mobile ad hoc network using LORA to a…

Airplane mode, location/GPS off, bluetooth off, ideally phone off or if not, have a faraday bag to put in it.

Similarly, you may use a directional antenna to determine the azimuth and range of a signal by locking on to the azimuth (high vs low signal strength) and see signal strength increase as you grow…
