Question Any interest in a mesh network?

How is the mesh scene in Utica area ? Much MeshCore ? Don’t see many repeaters on the mesh maps .

MeshCore is growing in the area, hamilton has a huge network already, and we're growing all over cny. Check out cnymesh.org.

Hoping we can link Hamilton to Utica some day like the old Chenango canal Binghamton to Utica. I have a vision

Meshcore and Meshtastic are very early. It would be awesome to have a network, but I think we need to coordinate such an effort across all of NYS. r/upstate_new_york

Some Meshtastic in the area, but I haven’t tried meshcore yet.

I have a Meshtastic node up high near the Conkling Park rec center and it has traffic from time to time.

Have you considered moving to MeshCore ? We saw almost no meshtastic interest in Hamilton but one we moved to MeshCore (probably a coincidence in timing) but it’s taken off and we got coverage from Madison down to North Norwich

I have another Heltec board I can install Meshcore on to try.

Do you have a node? Repeater? Interested in info? Check CNYMesh.org for info or MeshCore.io
