@naturepunk wonderful!

@james I'm on the east side of Wolverhampton (in a pretty dead spot for VHF comms) and tempted to flash a few devices with up to date firmware and give it another go. From Sedgley Beacon with a yagi I got 63 miles a couple of springs back and used to see plenty of nodes when driving with Meshtastic turned on on a tiny homemade j-pole.
Where are you based and what software/frequency are you on that it's completely dead?

@_elena I've noticed a load of people using Meshtastic and Meshcore on the Fediverse since my return. I haven't done any Lora stuff in a while (got multiple Heltecs and others plus a bunch of antennas). I might have to give it another go one of the days and see how busy the local scene is now.

@_elena I'm glad that your experience has worked out so well. My year 1 mirrored yours and has continued to be so largely bc the fediverse seems oriented toward and around techies. I'm not one and am not interested in becoming one.
So how do I find community here?

@_elena I’d suggest buy two nodes, so you can tell if it’s working or not. The second one is always going to be useful if you put it somewhere near you and high up. Having two is reassuring when you see it working between the two.
In fact, there’s MeshCore and Meshtastic, it’s worth being on both depending on the exact area (some are more MeshCore, some are more Meshtastic), so really, I’d suggest getting four nodes!
You’ll end up buying more than that in the long run, maybe not all at once in one go.
I also wrote up a page on which nodes I recommend for giving to family members, once you’re into it and can’t stop buying nodes (too early to reveal that?) pikopublish.ing/u0421793/bolg/whichradio.xhtml

@_elena watch out! Speaking of MacGyver can be used as an age verification criterion... 😂
