    I got my Meshtastic node running tonight for the first time. I expected to be out of range because I have line-of-site to very little. My node currently shows 160 other nodes online. Woohoo!

    Already looking at another client for Meshcore.

    edit - now at 285 nodes

        Basic external antenna. Sitting on my desk with all my computer stuff.

        I thought I’d have to climb on the roof to see another node.

        Bought two haltec v3 last night so I can also try meshcore.

          Cool. I accidently broke the display on my LilyGo pager, but have a LoRa ESP32 devkit that I should get going with… Probably a good fit for meshcore.

            My heltec v3s were DOA.

            Waiting a v4 from china. I messed up and got it without a display. Probably going to order another with display.
