Check out the Contact Settings in the app. There is a limit of 350 contacts
in the device but you can set it to overwrite oldest ones with newest ones.
Additionally you can set the max # of hops for something to get auto-added
to contacts. I set mine to 3 and cleared them and let it start over.
Additionally in the three dots menu of the Contacts screen there is a
Discover Contacts page that shows you actual recent contacts regardless of
whether they are saved. Mine has 755 right now. That page lets you sort by
most and least hops which the main Contacts page doesn't.
Some other cool non-intuitive things I found:
- tools -> Rx Log shows actual packets coming in, regardless of whether you
can read the content.
- long-press a message in a channel or conversation and a screen comes up
with details, including # of hops, and an option to see the message path(s)

I'm not much more than a mile from the Tarheel Backhaul but after the rain
I wasn't able to ping it for around a day, I guess until the trees around
my house dried out a bit. I kept receiving from it all that time though.
