San Juan Islands/ B.C/Bellingham Area

Good Morning everyone,

Thia is my first post here, I set up my first Tbeam and see a few pings on the map, was wondering if anyone was interested in expanding there mesh and creating a channel?

I’m in Seattle - you’re maybe a bit too far north of me unless you’re able to have a clear view south. I do have an antenna pointing toward the water - “Discovery Park Router” if you’re able to see it. What kind of visibility do you have? What kind of antenna are you using? What nodes are you currently seeing?

I’m on a flight right now and flew over today with my TEcho named “Delta 829” you may have gotten some test messages from.

I’m near Seattle and trying to establish a pathway to Bellingham, specifically to WWU.

I am a few miles from WWU.

So far, the furthest north I’ve been able to map is just west of the Northgate shopping center in Seattle. I did get a an unexpected surprise to the south in Astoria Oregon which says it was only 1 hop away, though. It gives me hope I will someday connect up with WWU. What is the furtherst contact you’ve made to the south?

I am able to see two nodes in Issaquah. I can see a lot of nodes on Victoria from either WWU and/or the Chuckanuts. I would expect I am seeing it as a hop but it is not reporting it.

I am not seeing anything in Orcas Islands. I imagine if there were a node there, it would give line of sight to Seattle.

I am staying around South Lake Union. I am surprised at how few nodes I see, even from Pike’s Market today. I imagine the building are blocking a lot of signals.
