What a crazy looking url.

  Because:
  njump is a HTTP Nostr gateway that allows you to browse profiles, notes and relays. It is an easy way to preview a resource and open it with your preferred client. The typical use of njump is to share content outside the Nostr world, where the nostr: schema is not yet recognized.

This explains surprisingly little. How does it compare to something like meshtastic or reticulum?

  I don't know what those are either

This is interesting but FT8/JS8CALL on an FM transceiver sounds puzzling and I didn't know anyone used those modes on those bands.

  The software distro was intended for any type of ham radio, so it does ft8 and just about everything else. Not intended for just V/UHF. Im guessing the author just name-dropped the one mode that people have heard of.

  Oh neat. I've been interested for a while in JS8CALL as a means of long range low power communications. That's best with HF of course.
  The classic UV-5R needs 7.2 volt power if that matters to anyone (not the usual 5V USB brick) but I'm sure users can deal with that.
