KrissyKat<p>My area is always great for radio because of the flatness and the Lake. 😺</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hoosier.social/@muddyfields" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>muddyfields</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://hoosier.social/tags/Meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Meshtastic</span></a></p>
AI6YR Ben<p>Interesting. This meshtastic node is approximately at JPL.

Ben<p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meshtastic</span></a> lesson learned:</p><p>Too many ROUTER_LATE nodes, even on hilltops, can hurt the health of your mesh. If you need a RL node, pick one for a local area and only that one. </p><p>We are trying to mitigate terrain where the combination of the Hudson bend and 1400ft hills mean you need adjacent hilltop radios on either side of the river join both north and south meshes. </p><p>Initially we had one in RL at 1400ft. Then added a second RL on an adjacent hilltop, and then a third to extend range further away from River, all within maybe 10mi. But sometimes messages would drop even for local traffic. </p><p>Switched them all to CLIENT and haven't lost anyone yet. One mesher is going to try to move their node to a regional high point and we'll designate that as the sole RL.</p>
