Might be a fun project to connect to the blockstream satellite if you're in the desert https://blockstream.github.io/satellite/
I'm not sure exactly how straightforward it is to go the diy route vs their kit which seems a bit pricey for hobbyist stuff.
That would be cool. Maybe down the road. I have found a cell phone plan that uses Verizon towers and is only $25 a month with unlimited hotspot which I what I am using now. Works great in rural areas like ours. It's horrible in a city. And the top speeds are capped pretty low.
