Wow great find! Uber-cool stuff. But, microwave is Line-of-Site and don't think it can be deployed in an emergency situation. Thus I was thinking a lower frequency one that anyone can purchase ( as in License and money ) and deploy with lower power need (thinking solar etc ) thus GMRS radios at UHF 462.550MHz to 467.725MHz so with a repeater can go up to around 20 miles.
Best would be 2 meters with repeaters (144.000 Mhz to 148.000 MHz) But back down to 1200Bps or less. With good repeater maybe 100 miles over flat land. Then down to super slow SSB and AM with 27Mhz ( old CD radio ) but really long distances and no longer line of site. But then I'm thinking the info passed is "tweeat" like very short messages like "120 casualties at location gps coordinates ..." Not talking about downloading all 1.2 Teri-bites of star trek.
