- How long have you been interested in radio?
- The world of Ham radio.
- What is JS8 and digital over radio?
Vision: to build an engineering company, specializing in radio and telecommunications, with a goal of creating an integrated and SECURE network that will allow information sharing, gaming, business, and secure communications, around the world and EVERYWHERE … cheaper than the WWW today … and owned by the people … truly decentralized.
If “crypto” wants to be truly independent and decentralized — then it needs to have the technological backbone to do so … it would need to be free of the WWW …
Elevator pitch …
I am working on a project with a friend in Utah. The project involves two basic parts:
- A no-logon bulletin board system, allowing users to post notes, read them, all in a GIS (geographical information systems) context.
- A digital citizen band and shortwave bidirectional radio bridge that allows an individual transceiver node and operator to integrate their system with our bulletin board system and vice versa. Our “white glove” offering will include effective encryption strategies for the messages themselves.
We are forming an engineering company if we are able, and this product/service combo will represent our first offering.
The product is called “notes”, but will:
- Allow journalists in difficult circumstances to file stories and reports – even when the local internet is shut down.
- Enable missionaries and activists overseas to coordinate and send/receive secure messages.
- Be a product that will excite young people about STEM and potentially be a great holiday gift.
- Be a way to dispatch and manage resources, globally.
- Integrate an EDI (electronic data interchange) system for formatted messaging between nodes.
Products:
- White-glove application capable of sending/receiving secure messages and integrating them into one web-based dashboard –
- Advertising space on free bulletin board.
- Rad-terminal: all in one radio/computer device, 3D printed brick/clam shell form factor, small enough to fit inside a backpack and containing all needed software and gear (to include antenna).
- Rad-brick: a small device that can interface your personal computer with a CB radio for digital text comms, among hobbyists, on 11 meters.
- Rad-truck: a vehicle which hosts a WiFi server and the broadcast equipment to provide emergency support, or special support for events, concerts … all integrated into the global PSR:NOTES system. A complete communications node for disaster scenarios: forest fire, earthquake, hurricane … etc.
- Rad-drone: a high altitude dirigible drone system for enhancing point-to-point shortwave and CB communications. A system that can be designed to provide area-wide WiFi and other services.
What do we want from you?
- Enthusiasm and involvement by home brew clubs in JS8 and similar technologies. Build out a network of technical knowledge and know how.
- Donors – want to support financially and be known as a founder AND have white-list access to the notes network.
- Investors … we need to raise 100K in the next 3 months to continue, and for this amount we will create a share structure for 10% ownership. This is a one time opportunity, the first investor to pool or have 100K can get a 10% stake …
We are just beginning on this journey, and this is connected to the podcast in a sense …
