Hi Andre @staltz! Thanks for coming over and introduce yourself!
I actually have a few questions about SSB technology: since each node of the SSB holds all the network’s information (if I got it right), isn’t this a problem for performance? I am thinking of a new node having to synch with an existing one, wouldn’t that take a long time? As well, I wonder about storage capacity. Is there a predefined total storage limit to SSB? If the network is ever expanding, wouldn’t the devices need to ever expand to accompany this growth?
Regarding Ham Radio, you might be interested in Pecan Pico:
a cheap lightweight APRS position tracker designed especially for small ballons which may fly for months
this device can actually transmitt images through VHF! It was developed by Sven Steudte @Svn, one of most active community members.
