As others have mentioned, the RDU Mesh organization (https://rdumesh.org) is an excellent source. Some of you have heard me piss and moan about trees and microwaves. Here's an excellent article about the subject on the RDU mesh web site including what you can do about it (summary: get your antenna high and if you can't get high enough increase gain and signal to noise ratio as much as possible while accepting that when it rains you are hosed):

And I found a site that is similar to RDU Mesh in the UK. They happen to have a crackerjack programmer named Louis King who has been a very busy guy. Here is their community site in Ipswich: https://ipnt.uk/. Try clicking on "dashboard".

And here is their github site: https://github.com/ipnet-mesh . Notice the *_meshcore-mqtt_* repo: this may be very relevant to our orientation toward using mesh with IOT. This repo is what I originally found and it turned out to be the tip of an iceberg. I reviewed the issues and seeing the first one being open since May bothered me, but after looking at all of them I'm convinced the lack of recent activity is evidence of the repo being finished and relatively bug free (I know it's an alien concept these days, but in the old days you wrote code and finished it, often with a very stable state of "no known bugs".) Check out issue #12 and Louis' use of AI. This may be alarming to some, passe to others. But "Louis plus two AI agents" seems pretty potent.

Back to RDU Mesh. THIS IS A KILLER MAP!!: https://rdu.meshmapper.net
