So, I setup meshtastic.

Put an antenna on my roof.

Have a decent number of mesh radios. Put one in each car in relay mode.

Setup a locally run LLM and made an interface to it.

Working on setting up a BBS.

I’m in the high density suburbs, I can, when the weather is just right, reach a single node that doesn’t seem to be able to reach any other nodes.

If I go on a drive, I can see 5-10 nodes.

Adoption in the mid-Atlantic US is just so damn low, it’s not really usable.

We need some antennas up high, but there aren’t any reasonable options around me.
