Episode Details

When a government can switch off cellular and fiber, what's left? HF radio, bouncing signals off an ionosphere nobody owns. This episode digs into Daniel's two questions: does HF signal loss actually scale with transmission distance, and could embassies relay traffic for each other as a global mesh? The answers overturn the intuition — a 10,000 km path can outperform a 5,000 km one, and the same delay-tolerant architecture built for Mars rovers is the one that keeps a diplomatic message moving when the local infrastructure goes dark.
