I set up my first node this week! Not much traffic yet, though.
Welcome, yeah depending on where you are the network still has big gaps. I've been on my local mqtt topic to stay connected, but I did hit a lot of nodes driving through Tennessee.
Yeah. I live in an area with a lot of river valleys, so the signal doesn’t propagate as far, either. I might set up a solar client on top of a nearby ridge to try and build out the mesh.
