@sebastian How was you Meshtastic mesh reception? My impression was that it was more or less dead in Denmark in favor of MeshCore

[sebastian@social.itu.dk]

@christopher

The main observations is that

there are many many infrastrcuture nodes - but noone using them for anything. it s just dead silent on the default channel (LongFast). I might be missing something ...

I wouldnt say that this is in favor of Meshcore - i guess the situation is the same there (?):

Might the main finding be that - today - noone needs lora mesh?

Any input and opinions welcome.

and again, good reading on meshcore vs meshtastic:

@sebastian There is tons of traffic on MeshCore to the point we had to be very careful with regions to not spend the allowed airtime. EU Narrow band not LongFast. Have a look at the observed traffic here https://meshview.dk/ For the settings working best in Denmark: https://meshguide.dk/#/defaults

@christopher thanks! I ll take a look. Really helpful.

@christopher

I am setting up some #Meshcore
nodes today, to take a closer look.
A companion for my pocket,
a router for our lab (roof later).

I can see the maps, the nodes -
my main interest now is:
to hear if people are actually using it? as in, chatting? messaging?

I guess my best chances would be on channel
#dk-kbh

grateful for any advice!
am on discord.

ps. first messages received on channel #Public, not #dk-kbh

@christopher

this thread certainly also interesting to @meshcore_kiel

[christopher@social.kaeck.name]

@sebastian @meshcore_kiel My repeater on Fyn reaches Kiel zero hop some days!

[christopher@social.kaeck.name]

@sebastian You can see a list of some known channels here https://meshview.dk/#/channels #test #ping for testing. Maybe #dk #oresund for chats.

@christopher
Do you admin a repeater? We use region de-dk for boarder communications

@sebastian

[sebastian@social.itu.dk]

@meshcore_kiel @christopher

just adding @andersaardvark to listen in

[christopher@social.kaeck.name]

@meshcore_kiel @sebastian yes, that is right. DK recommendation now is typically just repeating eu, europe, dk, (and sub-dk regions like postcodes etc) https://meshguide.dk/#/defaults

[sebastian@social.itu.dk]

@christopher @meshcore_kiel
@andersaardvark

so, a danish default repeater would repeat to Germany, right?
