I've finally built out a small solar-powered #meshtastic box so I can mount it up in a tree in my yard to get the most range out of it.
There's a perfect dead branch that isn't shaded by leaves that I've got my eye on.
I don't have roof access, so this is the best I can do, but my flat is in a relatively high point in the city already.
Even just with this indoors and at ground level I'm getting ~3 KM of range through the #Oxford city center, so my hope with properly mounting it is that I can get all the way over to the #EOF #hackerspace.
