Rak wireless module with battery/solar.
My question is…now what? I’m in Seattle, I can pick up 121 nodes, but there no traffic.
Is everybody using private channels? Or is nobody talking? I don’t see many messages and got one reply to a general CQ I sent out, but no response to the follow up.
I guess I was kind of hoping for what I get over ham radio, occasional chats, evening nets, etc.
Am I running into a technical limitation? Or is that the gist of Meshtastic?
As a follow-up, can I easily see if my router is handling other people’s traffic? I’d like to know if I’m helping.
I have no idea. Using coax-seal is just what I have always used and just have been blindly following what my dad always used since I was a kid.
There are probably better options these days. If it’s rubber-like and sticky, it should work fine.
