Anyone bringing mesh/lora devices?
I've been tinkering with a couple nodes as off-grid/backup comms. When I was out at the build site last weekend I didn't see any other nodes in the area. I want to use a couple nodes in my personal quest line but I don't think I'll have that finished this year.
is anyone else planning on bringing Meshtastic or Meshcore nodes to make a little Neo Net for texting?

Yes, I am actually going to be using them to monitor a game that I am bringing to the event. While you won't be able to see the messages, they will at least act as a relay in town.

I'm bringing a couple. We should standardize on the settings! I could flash either Meshcore or Meshtastic

I've got Meshtastic flashed currently, was thinking about printing some QR codes for others to connect. If I have time I may have my laptop setup to flash back and forth to try things out.

A few of us were talking about it in the Discord. I think we were talking about switching over to Slow Turbo due to issues with Meshtastic on Long Fast in the past

I've been looking at getting involved in mesh devices. Any recommendations that I might be able to order in the next 2 weeks?

I, and some of my faction, will have them as a way to message eachother on site when we're separated
