To be frank I have no idea, my preferred way forward was to go POS or POW with POS the issue I have here is although I know altcoins I don't know Ham Radios.
Now there is not much point in just becoming another POS or POW coin with little or no direction as to what this coin is supposed to be about, and that of coarse is Ham Radios so I have been patiently waiting for some one with those skills to come along.
I have lots of patience so its not an issue, and as you can see the Dev funds are safe.
So in essence I'm waiting for ideas and help.

I think there is a big "cool" factor here that could be expanded upon. Ham is all about having the ability to communicate and keep the world running in the event of a disaster or some other event that disrupts normal communications. Its also about experimenting and creating new ways to communicate as well as bringing new tech into use.
In many ways, Crypto is the same and has many of the same goals. As Hams, we have both the responsibility of being there when needed and, developing new technology in our fields. Lots of skills can cross over as well as individual interests considering the many areas of study and career paths involved. I would say it's a matter of getting the word out rather than coming up with new ideas. Once there is interest, the new ideas will come. Being digital, crypto lends itself fairly well to being transmitted and received over the air using existing technology. Most new Ham radio equipment is fully digital and many new radios are nothing more than computers with pretty screens. SDR (Software Defined Radio) is quickly taking over from the old purpose built radio equipment. Couple that with an external computer and it would seem to me to be a great way to setup a crypto network over the air.
You mentioned POS. This might be a bit much for a radio based network simply due to the amount of data that would be needed. But then again, POW has its work problem as well. I think the radio part of the equation has to remain simply in communicating infrequent updates to nodes rather than trying to run mining or POS operations over the air. All that can be handled at the local computers attached to the radios and mining pools. Perhaps a protocol needs to be developed where that data is compressed and sent through the network in bursts at regular time intervals or, greatly reduced in quantity.
Anyway, there is a future here, it just needs to be defined. If I provide some forums for Ham radio, would you be willing to post some info about the coin and what you are looking for as far as future development and contribution to the project? Remember, most Hams don't know much or anything about crypto, you will need do some hand holding. The tech can come later, right now it's a matter of making the package pretty enough for Hams to be interested and easy enough to understand.
Someone posted here some time ago that Ham radio is dying. That was a very uninformed observation. We have more young people and new operators coming online then ever before and mostly due to informational efforts by local clubs, new "cool" digital equipment and the fact that Morse code skills are no longer a requirement to earn a license. The future is bright...
