I see the possibilities as the network grows and agree that decentralization is key. Are there any resources that you’d recommend to help me figure out the scenario that I’m trying to accomplish?

I was planning on a repeater that’s waterproof and solar but now youve got me second guessing and realizing that I need more knowledge. I don’t want to do something that could make communications worse.

Thanks again.

I've learned what I know through just asking questions of the community, just like you have been, and watching all the YouTube videos I can get my hands on about meshtastic.

You might also run into another system called meshcore, and it's very similar to meshtastic, but at least I won't touch it, because it's not fully open source. The firmware for the devices is open source, but the application that you install on your phone to interact with it is not open source, and therefore I will not touch it.

Right on, it’s been nice chatting. I’m sure I’ll see you around the halls of nostr. Meshtastic bedtime videos last night for me. Thanks for the fyi on meshcore, one less rabbit hole.

Welcome. I did think of one good resource if you're not already using it and that would be the main website at meshtastic.org. They have a ton of documentation and stuff like that on that site.

I’ve been scouring that site
