Hello again, so far my mesh has been great as a neighborhood range gimmic (no harm, just bummed there aren’t more adopters locally), but I’m hoping to go further. Turns out a neighboring town has a more extensive mesh than my own. Aside from convincing a bunch of people in between to set up meshtastic, could I go and set up a yagi and point it towards a known node for example? I am atop a hill and likey have LOS, but even if I get a signal, how should this be repeated if not by another node close to the yagi? Or rethink this entirely? Thank you all in advance
Note that the usual caveats for using ROUTER/REPEATER/ROUTER_LATE roles apply. In your case it might be the right compromise.
Having done a little more scouting around town, I think I discovered a potential black hole router - or simply nobody else is around, hard to judge by signal strength if they’re doing good or not. Otherwise I do think I may be in a good spot to try setting up some infrastructure, if only I can get LOS to what seems to be a sparse network… if there is one lol
