Our mission is to bring Bitcoin Plebs & Devs into ham radio in order to help the bitcoin community to achieve technical proficiency in radio communication techniques so that they will be able to contribute to advancing the radio arts in alignment with the ethos of Bitcoin.
⚡️⚡️⚡️Let me know if there is ham radio content that you would like to see me repost. I will see it if you use #hamradio or @HR4BTC it in a reply. ⚡️⚡️⚡️
I have been experimenting with making content in the YouTube shorts format.
For the shorts, I have been using a less serious tone, partly in order to expose the broader ham radio community to Nostr & BTC; as well as telling them about my educational videos for the ham radio test prep.
⚡️What do you think of them so far?
⚡️What would you like to see in future HR4BTC shorts?
⚡️One topic I am thinking about covering is @Liberty Farmer ‘s #hamstr.

Configuring Many Meshtastic Radios Quickly with Meshtastic CLI
By AltaVox
“In this video, learn how to efficiently configure multiple Meshtastic radios using the Meshtastic CLI (Command Line Interface). Review the installation instructions and see how to perform tasks such as setting channels, changing owner names, applying multiple settings from a YAML file, and more. This method is faster and more direct compared to using phone apps or the web client. Perfect for anyone needing to manage multiple Meshtastic devices. No prior Python or CLI experience required!”

Why ham radio and Meshtastic is a great combination
By KB9VBR Antennas
“Meshtastic is decentralized mesh network that can send short digital messages between devices on the ham radio 900 Mhz Band. This roundtable recorded at the 2025 Wisconsin Ham Radio Campout gives an overview of devices and ham radio applications of the mode.“

Could You Send Bitcoin Over Radio?
By HR4BTC
“Bitcoin isn’t just digital money: it’s an open-source information protocol for value.
You can now send value like you send any other data, even over radio.”
In order to bring this message to broader audiences who are not familiar with bitcoin, I turned @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 into a generic internet frog character. This was tastefully done for educational purposes.
