#

looks like weve had a jump in the N/E region for nodes!

#

whoever owns HTBN/HTH you have the wrong public channel encryption key selected

I'm hoping to have one set up this weekend 🙂 Hope to see you then!

# halcyon tree where abouts?

Harrogate, just above Leeds.
Has been online for two days but I think I have a bad antenna and didn't buy a second device to test with...

halcyon tree
#

ah yeah quite a distance from me and my mates who have nodes up

lime patio
#

Need to get myself a spare node to play with, then maybe next weekend I can work out if its device, cable or antenna

Not sure if there’s anyone else near me with a good location

#

Might buy one and just try it out

halcyon tree
#

i run 3 nodes

#

one at my apartment, one at my parents and one in my car

#

i see a few nodes in newcastle when i drive up that way

#

get your antenna as high as possible and youll probably get some people

#

higher you get your antenna, further you will see and be seen

copper veldt
#

It’s a relatively flat area so hopefully I should be able to find people

halcyon tree
#

getting a quality antenna while help too

copper veldt
#

Then I would be within the range of it and could still access it

halcyon tree
#

most people have a high up node as their "base"

#

then a node in house/on them

#

for actually connecting to

copper veldt
#

Might just start with one though just to see if I have any luck

halcyon tree
#

my car node is my base node at my apartment

#

since its not a house, cant fix stuff outside high up

copper veldt

#

i dont think anyone is hosting a meshsense relay in newcastle

copper veldt
#

Is going across the sea good for range/coastline good for range

#

Being totally flat

halcyon tree
#

can be, water does affect RF

#

but from Saltburn ive hit sunderland/north/south shields nodes that are near the coast

#

it varies a lot

copper veldt
halcyon tree
#

good quality antenna and up high, youll hit something lol

copper veldt
#

Yeah north and South Shields isn’t far

halcyon tree
#

getting above all the other houses is crucial, the power output of these nodes is restricted by law so you need all the height advantage you can get

copper veldt
#

Chimney would be the best spot

#

But a pain to reach

halcyon tree
#

yeah, thats the tradeoff lol

Hi folks, I've had 2 nodes up around HG2 for a few months but I'm not seeing much activity so I presume I'm doing something off of norm for the area. Anyone have any recommendations for active knowledge exchange?

I was initially and saw very little activity. About 6 weeks ago a bunch of ppl popped up for a few days and disappeared again, but some of the chat made me think I wasn't using the local standards. I just started trying MedFast a few days ago.

#

If that isn’t the case or you don’t want to use it then you could use one of your nodes to test coverage

#

Like drive around to other places and see whether you see it
