nostr:npub1psm37hke2pmxzdzraqe3cjmqs28dv77da74pdx8mtn5a0vegtlas9q8970 is one of my favorite tools in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Not a week goes by that I don't use it.
What a great job.
Agree. Boltz is epic!
Antenna design/usage is an artform lol. I assume ones made by a reputable company have been tested for the band that they advertise, but no guarantees. If an antenna is a few mm too long or two short, RF gain starts to tail-off quite sharply. There are ways of testing using an oscilloscope but I can't remember exactly how to do that now. #LoRa

Yooo... Really curious to know what your bill of materials is for that rig.
Sunday Brunchtime...
Time to see all the cool things people are doing with #meshtastic XD
Ln channel fees going up 😪
Need a sub $100 hardware device (probably a cheap stock android with custom ROM) that comes bundled 'Out Of The Box' with Lightning Channel Capacity, with retail boxes similar to how you'd market a memory stick or Lebara/Lyca sim packs... then a WALLED GARDEN store of Point Of Sale apps, and maybe in a plastic orange case.
Any bank.
Every Saturday.
Until #hyperbitcoinization. https://video.nostr.build/03f2c8c901232a1e95a83108bf779a55fc55c6cd59a9a60ca1affa004c4d76dc.mov
Bruh!
Meshtastic is the hardware that provides an open source RF cloud. Reticulum is the private and encrypted transport protocol. When combined, it will cause a lot of butthurt for people with central planning aspirations.
Ahh I see. Is 70cm is available to licenced hams?
Is it viable to use meshtastic on 433Mhz in the US? I think it would propogate better - especially given the atmospherics.
LFGGGGG - I'm now wondering whether a meshtastic yagi rig on 70cm could do Blackcomb bump room (next to Rendezvous) to Mt Bachelor.
Lower frequencies generally give you more distance (Km) per Watt. I think it generally makes sense to go with 70cm (430ish MHz)
