[GCARC] Meshtastic or Meshcore activity in the area.

[Harold Garron]

Thank you. Just getting involved back into radio stuff after a few years off. Thanks for the tip about the discord channel as I forgot about that. 

There isn’t much around my house, but I took my t-1000e over to Riverwinds this morning to work out and nodes started popping up nearby. 

I am going to setup a node on my roof in Deptford so I can hopefully hit some other node while at home.

Harold AC2BK,
   We still have some Meshtastic activity in the area and GCARC has a "lora-meshtastic" Discord channel that you could join in order to learn more.  Only a few of us have nodes on 433 MHz, so your best bet will be to use 915.  There are TONS of signals coming out of the Phila area on this ISM band.

I seem to remember some club activity with Meshtastic with the Heltec boards in amateur Bands a few years ago. Is that still going on or has anyone moved over to Meshtastic or Meshcore in the ISM 915 band?

I picked up a Lora board for my ClockworkPi Uconsole and also a Seeed Studio T-1000e. I tried Meshtastic and Meshcore in the 915 band on both but haven’t picked up any traffic. I was thinking about building a solar node to put up but didn’t know if there was any activity in the area to bother doing it.
