I've lately been very interested in initiatives to decouple mass networked communication from telecom corps. I know packet radio has a small but vigilant community, but I'm also interested in other platforms and protocols

I've been curious about the same thing. I have an RTLSDR usb that I used to have connected to a huge antenna, mainly to listen in on GMDSS DSC transmissions on the 8MHz band, so I could use that to plot ships around the world.

I've since moved, so I no longer have a dipole in my yard, but I need an excuse to build one.
