Awesome to see HAB on hacker news! Was following some of your development years ago when I developed a small APRS tracker, have been meaning to revisit that project someday. Also developed a WSPR version that I haven't published any info on, but had a great trans-atlantic flight with that one. Keep up the great work!

How'd you maintain connection over the ocean?
