Re: Interesting stuff in "Advanced" Amateur Radio
Steve, N8GNJ also has some stuff at superpacket.org https://www.superpacket.org/2021/04/welcome-tag-nw-it-readers.html When I read of his latest there reminded me of why I like reading what he'd write.

Re: Mesh networking in Brown County
I've tried a number of things over the years. Basically you need to have access to a number of good sites (100 ft) or you really aren't going to get the stuff to go very far.
