In the amateur radio repos there is even a very low bandwith app, WSJT, which averages tones over minutes for bouncing signals using the moon as the communication satellite, it is possible to connect worldwide using a 100w VHF or UHF amp, a preamp, a SSB radio, and a long yaggi made from grounding wire and a piece of wood or plastic pipe.
Thanks a lot - coincidentally, just yesterday I've been through long articles about that moon-reflected signals. Awesome stuff. It seems, (from other threads), like you know many things about HAM radios - this could be invaluable, as my knowledge about this topic is purely theoretical.

I'll take a look into those Debian programs - if they do what we need to do, we just need talented GUI programmer (hint: Copernicus ) to bundle all existing components into one send-receive Maemo's native program, and we're there
