@voyagermesh @jwildeboer @sesivany Oh, I was not proposing to move to APRS. Just that you learn from the dead ends there.

We can probably use the existing region API and router rules to emulate this.

Lets say that only when you mark your message with #wide, the top of the mountain repeater will repeat it.

Or we create two mesh frequencies, one for cross-county net and one internal. And "route" only non local messages to the backbone.

The zones might work too, but depend on geography.
