I’m finally able to see some other nodes thanks to a friend who I discovered has also been experimenting with Meshtastic and deployed a new node today in a location that I can reach from my house. The node is 15km away from me and the signal strength isn’t great but it works well enough to give me connectivity all the way into the CBD as well as up into the hills.

I’ve also built another solar powered node that I hope to deploy soon in a location that has clear line of sight over much of the city and should give some extra coverage.
