Message from Kidderminster is me KD1 longname “Kidderminster node dipole”
I’ve been replying every time you post on longfast but never seam to get out
I live in a extremely rf noisy environment currently with water meters jamming meshtastic so that definitely doesn’t help
Looking at your screen shot I never got your reply
Here a screen shot of my end like I’ve said meshtastic or any radio for that matter is extremely hit and miss here

Hi. Thanks for replying. Yours is the first message I have received via meshtastic. A momentous day in my holiday… 
Indeed I am thinking that the mesh requires multiple attempts and the fact that a message arrives somewhere has no correlation with the chance of a REPLY to that message being able to received by the sender. This is the first time I see this effect. In Munich where we are meshing everything (see here Solar node for top of tall building ) and here for a coverage map ( Meshtastic Munich good locations - Google My Maps ) … I simply do not get this. There is a whatsapp group in Munich for the Mesh - so we know if there is a problem with messages not getting back and forth. Though to be fair, the distances involved here in Gloucestershire are far larger. I am beginning to thing there is an optimum average node separation for 27 dB power that I am using. Or perhaps your point is the key: in the UK that frequency might be full of all sorts of transmission used by other non-meshers. I see lots of antennae on all sorts of kit in the UK (water stations, electricity sub-stations… )
Thanks again…
I believe that interference combined with just the distances causes problems with meshtastic i did a test from pwellheli to Barmouth north wales and messages were going back and forth fine most likely because it was a over water path
I would love to put a node up on a tower block here but most are going to be demolished in the next few years
If my dad was still working I could probably get away with putting a node at some of the utility sites he used to look after especially the ones up on hills
Also trace route to dong I almost forgot about

Recieved in Lower Moor - unfortunately I dont think my setup is powerful enough to respond. I did send a message at 1554. Just started today, this and your Vale of Evesham posta have been really insightful. Thanks!
Thanks! My MTe (T-echo) went on the blink at about 16:00. That device has been iffy for a while. Nice of you to post here! Thanks for trying to reply. Nothing received here and no node with short name 8rad had appeared on any of my node lists.
Hi, I received your message in Exhall. I did reply. My nodes ares EXH1 and EXH2.
Still loud and clear to me in Worcester
