I can’t this weekend due to having the kids, but home lab/networking is my work area. Some girls like to knit to relax, I love soldering, networking and learning. I can help out later next week if there’s some further help needed.

Lost my original post for some reason 🙁 Trying again so sorry if a bit scattered.
I have been working with NHMesh.com / NHMesh.live for a bit helping with Meshtastic and Meshcore connections, which is a similar analogue (but digital haha.) Connecting MA to NH, ME and even CT.
Obviously at 900mhz, terrain and foliage make a big difference. A lot of the Meshtastic for example we’ve had to set up a lot of routers on high hills like Bear Hill, Westford, MA, Jeremy Hill in Hudson, NH, and even Mt. Kearsarge. Over the summer I was able to go from my house, to Bear Hill, Westford, MA direct to someone on Mt. Wachusett at 120mw for Meshtastic.
I’ve been helping to build solar nodes; LTO batteries are my new favorite for safety reasons, and can charge/discharge at below 0F temperatures. I was running numbers this week about possibly getting one of those Heltec HaLow nodes offigrid solar, and I think it’s VERY possible with a couple of 45ah LTO batteries, and a 35w+ panel.
I’d love to help out with this and report back to the group. You may be a bit far for me as a couple of good hills in the way between you and I.

Hi Fred!!
I ordered:
- 1x HaLowLink 1 MM-HL1-EXT
- 2x Heltec HT-HD01 devices
Looks like they are on the supported list with the Babel Nightly builds so excited to try it out.

Depending on timing, and if I have work or the kids, I’d love to go and help!
I hadn’t heard of AREDN before and looks really interesting.
