I’m still fighting with Amazon to get my first pair of devices delivered, I went with heltec v3s to get started.

But looking at the meshmap.net, it’s very very sparse around me. How likely is it that the are nodes that aren’t on the map?

Hopefully I can check it out myself soon!

    So far no nodes other than the two I bought. I got the upgraded longer antenna, and went out on my second story balcony in a suburban area, nothing.

    Looks like I’ll be the change I want to see in the world haha.

          It’s definitely possible, and if you can even get connected to just one node, then you will end up extending the mesh by a decent amount. Since the nodes you will probably receive from the edge will be decently weak signal.
