For those who may not know, due to bandwidth & signal quality issues, packet data / email is at a snails pace, ie:
300 baud HF band, and 1200+ baud VHF.

Think 1982 Commadore Vic 20 dial-up performance / capability.

Amateur Radio Emergency Services uses short radio data messages to send emergency update information about disaster scene, brief victim family messages.

To the best of my knowledge there is No shortwave radio Internet capability.

Input appreciated...

the data use systems are more akin to texting rather internet. 1993 texting at that.
