There is a tower that I may be able to put a node on. I know I have line of sight to that tower from my house as I have a fixed wireless Internet service that goes to it. I sort of have permission to put it on there but need to figure out exactly what hardware to use and who is going to climb the tower to install.. From that tower I suspect I may already be able to reach some other nodes.

I’m also thinking of putting one at my mum’s house. She is on the side of a hill with a good view of much of the city.

Cool! I wonder how scalable meshtastic is. I think once there are as many meshtastic nodes as cellphones, the current architecture would no longer work. But until then, it's a lot of fun.

Yeah I’ve been wondering about the scalability too but where I am in Australia we are a long way off of needing to worry about that. I did discover yesterday that a couple of the other nodes that I’ve been finding have actually been installed by a guy I know through work. Hopefully I can coordinate with him to find locations to install nodes to get better coverage.
