A few days ago a few buddies and I linked two small cities and a small town together with #meshtastic nodes. Initially we added a node in the middle and got a link between all three. Then I moved a node up the tower on my end and replaced the antenna (with a smaller cheaper one 😆) and surprisingly ended up getting a fairly solid direct connection to the other city ~70 km away! When the direct connection doesn't hit then the linked connection works.

Had a few hills to get over and found a great spot, been discussing link for a few months. Now to optimise hops and figure out if router mode would benefit anything.
