Obsolete? #ARRL #ARES and #RACES may have just become obsolete with the launch of #starlink #DirecrToCell satellites.
Right now it’s just data, but voice is coming in 2025.

“The first Starlink satellite direct to cell phone constellation is now complete.
This will enable unmodified cellphones to have Internet connectivity in remote areas.
Bandwidth per beam is only ~10Mb, but future constellations will be much more capable.”
