This text messaging system over radio seems awesome for recreational and emergency communication.

OK, we do not speak about same users : you speak about population and I about emcomm teams. For sure, emcomm teams have to listen to population (I think about PMR446, LPD433, CB27, E channel...) in voice mode, but they need to build internal radio infrastructure to share information. Ribbit could be a brick of this solution :

easy to deploy
without specific hardware (compatible with what every amateur radio already has)
high density of information transmitted by spectrum used
logging messages
geolocation of messages
no internet connection needed
