This is VarAC, a digital mode of communication over HAM radio that uses a software modem to decode audio signals over HF Radio. It reminds me of the old days of IRC and BBSes and it ticks all of my nerdy boxes. It's very high tech and somehow also very primitive.

I can have an ascii chat with someone with a radio and a piece of wire strung up as an antenna and reach all over the world. It fascinates me.
