[MarinTeams] Meshtastic

[Rene Henke]

Hi Mark,

I just stumbled about the same and also found very little presents in 
the north bay! I purchased a few smaller handled version and tested some 
area I have access Larkspur, Novato and Bel Marin Keys... I'm planning 
on installing fixed units in each as soon as they re back in stock...

If you wanna discuss, just reply or email direct rene.henke at yahoo.com

Cheers,
Rene'
