Is it possible to mine bitcoin using radio waves? Like, could I connect a HAM radio to a mining rig and make it work?

Can you elaborate why and what is your use case? This is a regular IP networking question, nothing miner specific here. Quick google search brought me to here ---> https://www.ampr.org/ If you can create a stable connection with it, it fits for mining. The bandwidth doesn't have to be very big.

No mining computer can mine Bitcoin. Does it seem that you are talking about mining bitcoin through frequencies? It's more likely a helium mining where yan mine coins through radio frequencies? If you don't know how to mine Bitcoin I suggest you go to mining support and read sticky threads. And take note you can only mine Bitcoin with ASIC machines computer or GPU are no longer able to mine Bitcoin.

To mine in remote locations without the need to pay for satellite internet or any other internet provider. I think it can be done via some sort of packet over radio protocol, you probably need to setup a receiving station that is connected to internet, such as a home network.

Are you sure it is not cheaper to just use a 4G Router?

No you can mine BTC through computer and minning machines I don't think it is possible to mine through radio because it's required specific algorithm for minning which radio does not support.

Bzzzt -- WRONG. The OP would only use a radio as link from miner(s) to a distant internet connection (router). That has nothing to do with the algorithm. Any method of linking a miner to the internet will work.
