> HAM is still a very necessary tool for keeping in contact in the mountains and such.

Depends on the location. The company I work for produces a mountain-top repeater[0] series. Hundreds of them are distributed throughout the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia, providing an expansive coverage for handheld devices.

If you're curious about what an installation site looks like atop a mountain, check out pages 38-39 in an older product guide[1].

Oof! Thank you for pointing that out. I'll check into why this file isn't on our public CDN and why a spam site has our document. Meanwhile, a few safer links:

* https://caraham.org/resources/Documents/Learning%20Conferenc... - page 37 in the PDF (29 in the document) shows various radio towers atop of mountains

* https://cdn.codancomms.com/general-downloads/Products/User-G... - overview of radio communications fundamentals

Perhaps you should install UBlock origin.
