We have a small DMR network here in central Idaho that works well, but, as you mentioned, it is internet dependent for anything outside the range of the repeaters.
With marginal internet, the hotspot idea is going to not work well, unless you could build a directional antenna for better internet reception. NVIS is probably your best bet, 40M during the day and 80M at night. Also, don't forget about 60M. |

You can run DStar via HF and need no internet.

For NVIS over just a couple hundred miles, you ain't gonna need much. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote HistoryQuoted: Maybe. Depends on the overall height needed. Nobody sees it, it works and we have communicated at 1 watt each this summer. and have comms at will on 40 and 80. With olivia it is a no brainer. We are about 80 miles away but it also worked when I was operating portable with the same antenna on a remote fishing trip and we were 200 miles away. It also worked for me to contact ECARS and that was a good 400 miles away. My height was about 10 feet. |
