I can't believe in the amount of coordination and settings juggling that it takes for a #meshtastic package to get around a hill and reach the nodes in the edge of the mesh.
It would be so much easier if we had either more than 7 hops available, or zero-cost hops between (favorited) CLIENT_BASE nodes.
(On a side note, I see that the #baymesh community has a custom firmware with 64 hops. Probably because of issues similar to mine).
Started installing my #meshtastic sensecap solar node p1 pro yesterday! Opted for the 5.8 dBi RAK antenna from Rokland.
Ignore the bungee cords I had to abandon the installation partially through to make my 9am standup 🤣

Woot! My brother just brought his little pocket node (a T1000-e) to our parents’ house. From there, he can see a couple nodes which I can see from home. We might be in business.
A Station G2 arrived yesterday. I got it set for remote admin and placed up high near the front of the house. Next step is to get the hang of wireless firmware updates. At that point, I’m ready to put something on the roof or up a tree.
