Awesome…I’m about to take my general exam and hopefully amateur extra in a couple of months. Just ordered meshtastic units and covers (x4)…can’t wait to dive in…of course I’m old and technically retarded so I’m expecting an uphill slogšŸ˜–

It didn’t take much to get the basics running. Now I’m climbing in the rafters to hang antennas …

Good luck with ur project…can’t wait to start on minešŸŒ…

It's a peace of piss, you'll be up and running 5 minutes after you unpack it.

Just screw the antenna on first.

U may be underestimating my level of technical incompetence šŸ¤£ā€¦but I’m hoping ur right.

I just recently passed the technical exam but I’m still a lil overwhelmed with simple station operation…I’m looking forward to trying my hand at the HF frequencies but even more so the digital meshtastic communications. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Anyone can do it. I bought a couple of Lilygo T-echo's just because they look good when I show my neighbors. Trying to get the village set up with a network.

When I buy more I think it's be the low power Rak jobbies, don't really need a screen or gps just to send a message.

I have the lilygo t deck and t beams saved for possible purchase later…I have the small (~2ā€) units from Amazon ordered (v3 version) with the Etsy custom cases which accommodate a battery and seem pretty nice. Also got the improved after market antenna.
