I just went up in north Kenmore with Heltec v3 as well. Not seeing any peers, going to try a different antenna.

Iām in Bonney, Lake and work in Tacoma. Iām looking to put a couple of solar units up to communicate from work to home in the case of a emergency. I have a direct line of site from my house in Bonney Lake to Tacoma. My plan is to put 1 on top of a 9 story building on the top of the Hill in Tacoma that I have access to and one on top of my roof in Bonney lake. Do you think that would work? I am very new to this and not sure of the range.

Hi @Jesse1, Iām new to this too, but based on my experience there is no way youād be getting a point to point signal over 15 miles, at least not reliably. I think the main way any of this works is if there is a healthy mesh between the two nodes. In my case there is not even one reliable connection nearby, but you never know, maybe more people in your area have nodes up. Itās worth a try, plus you will be ready and contributing if this catches on here like it has in other places.
Hi Hoodah, thatās what I thought, I think Iām still going to move forward and start getting some up and maybe by the time Iām done a few more might pop up and weāll be in business.

Iām in Olympia. Probably too far to hop from here to Seattle, but maybe with enough nodes in between?
Anyone else in Thurston County?

Just set up a Heltech V3 Solar set-up in Ballard. Seeing nodes as far as Bremerton! But the east side is blocked by Phinney Ridge. Anyone live up there and would let me set up a node on their roof 
(but actuallyā¦)
Iām based in Burien and work in Snoqualmieā¦ Have a few mobile nodes (there are actually quite a few nodes in Snoqualmie, but not too much in Burien).
Iāll be setting up a rooftop solar router in a month or so just NW of the airport (RAK Wisblock with good outdoor antenna), so that may link more of us together.
My nodes are all prefaced with āBNā

If it manages a 10 km radius, should look about like this: Radius Around a Point on a Map
Look for Tor3 (rooftop Rak). or Tor2 (mobile Rak)
Iām setting up a rooftop solar Rak near the top of Crown Hill. Iām getting good signal into Ballard from my roof. I have the stock Rak kit antenna running now. Hopefully done by Saturday with upgraded antenna and solar.
This is also very interestingā¦
