@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.
@alice I acknowledge that you, and others, have a different experience to a middle aged, white, 6 foot plus cis male :(
I wrote the code that tested the seat rails in the original Focus in my first software job. They are still everywhere like the arseholes making life difficult for people they see as different
By acknowledging we all have different experiences and listening when people share theirs we can make the world a little bit friendlier for all.
You just did that :)
