Brighton to Crawley Challenge via Burgess Hill and Haywards Heath Nodes
I’ve got a buddy in Crawley with a Node PRN5 , pretty sure that’s it, he got me into this so it’s all his fault! I want to try my beam portable at Ditchling Beacon aiming for Burgess Hill / Haywards Heath and see if he can do the same and make contact
Nothing works , can’t send or receive, my reliable Heltecs X2 are just not working, I tried different Antennas and swapped pigtails and leads. The power is ok.
I noticed 21hrs ago when the mesh was only partially usable I noticed a flood of new Nodes linked in via some Repeaters? I’m guessing. I’ll show my Node list.
None of my regulars are showing up on my list.
The new update of Meshtastic has made no difference.
HI All. Just saying hello. Been playing with a few devices over the last month. Good days and bad days over here in East Brighton. All my devices have “DJX” in the short ID code. I have set up a repeater but I think I need to get it higher - just waitng for a waterproof box to turn up.
Brilliant reception/contacts if you go up to the racecourse/TV mast.
Brighton on the hill today 4th Sept 15:00hrs just got some results ! 28.5km!! Brighton to littlehampton 120mW I’ll take that! Two way contact. And many more as far East the Seaford and as far West to Littlehampton! Now for a Croydon contact , get yer beams out.
