Local #MeshCore #LoRa #mesh is growing quickly. A few months ago, there were only a couple repeater nodes in #Marin; I could see them on the map, but we couldn’t communicate.
Now there are ~20 repeaters (that I can see) across Marin, including some on #MountTamalpais, which is amazing for reach.
And this morning I had my first ever REPLY to one of my outgoing test messages — from someone in San Jose! It’s actually working! 😁🤓💪
(Side note: one thing I like about MeshCore is it has channels, including #test. So you can send as many silly test messages to #test as you want — that’s what it’s for — without cluttering the main public channel. When I tried #Meshtastic, the one public channel was 99% “does anyone see this?”)
P.S. West Coast folks, go to https://wcmesh.com for regional config settings. 👍
