I’m hoping to put up an external antenna in the next few days. I’m thinking of making a Slim Jim for 868Mhz.

Hi Ian - I am (M3VIA) just down the road in Fair Oak - 433, id: dd78. I’ve found node maps to be empty - that surely can’t be. I’m sure there’s lots of us in stealth mode waiting for a reply/ping. Up for any tests if you are some time - reds. Nigel.
should have read ‘regards’
There are at least two other Meshtastic users in Botley. I can see them on my network. I’ve spoken to one I them…Always happy to do some tests.

Thanks Ian. What map resource are you using? My Mesh map shows just a solitary node in Bitterne. I’ll give you a shout after 3d printing a case and connected to external ant.
Hi all, fancy seeing some familiar faces here eh! I’ve been learning the ropes thanks to Marcus and am up and running in London now on 433MHz ham mode.
Just a note to say I suspect we’ll be putting an 868 node up on a very tall building (no, not THAT building haha) in Southampton in the near future 
All the best,
Jason
I’ve designed 3D cases for my T-beam and Heltec 3. I’ve registered with several Mesh maps. The first day I ran the T-beam I could see others all over the World. I can only assume someone was routing them via MQQT. I’ll see if I can see your position on any maps.

I’m hoping to put up an external 868mhz Antenna soon. I’m building a 868mhz Slim Jim. Getting the feed point right is proving difficult.
Ian
Familiar faces indeed !
I have a mobile node and a static node (on the map)
Made a few mobile tests in the local area. Managed to get a few ack messages near Hedge End.
New user here. Not seeing anyone yet, probably doing something wrong 
anyway hi
Have been up to Peartree Green this morning and picked up a few nodes but no messages on what i think should be the default channel so maybe ive somehow messed that up (or maybe no one was around)
Anyway, progress. A router up the top of the civic would be pretty effective wouldnt it?
Just setting up one at each of our offices. Curdridge and Denmead. We have masts on Portsdown, Butsa and Rake so I’ll probobly chuck nodes up there with our WiFi kit.
Not really seen anyone else on 868 yet.

I’ve seen more to the east of the city so that might tie in nicely with yours?
Quite low down just here in the office. I may head home later via Portsdown. Right now I’m after confirmation what I have works. We have space on a few masts so popping nodes in would be easy enough.
Let me know if I can help somehow
