This morning my #Meshtastic radio picked up two radios from a flight from New York to Kansas City. It also connected me to over a dozen other nodes as much as 40 miles away. Most people don’t share location so it can be much farther away. I even got connected to a bbs.

Most people don't know that in circumstances like that they should really put their nodes into client mute mode in order to not relay traffic between nodes that won't be able to hear each other once they are no longer in the area to relay. If you by chance are ever going to be in a flight or in a vehicle set your node to client mute to avoid this

Hi. Total noob here. Just ordered my first two radios to play with but the intent is to try and use Meshtastic as an alternate comms path from an experimental aircraft to one or multiple ground stations. Any recommendations on radios, antennas equipment or settings I should consider? Thank you 🤙🏽
