So is it realistic for these to work in remote areas? Like would I need a node every 10 miles or something for it to work? I'm pretty far away from even a smallish city, but I live on a mountain that's about 1000 feet higher than the surrounding areas.
I don't really need it, but it sounds neat and it would be cool to set one up
My understanding is it depends heavily on line of sight, but under ideal conditions the signals can go several miles. So if you've got the high ground you might do OK. Check both the Meshtastic and Meshcore node maps in your area to see who else is out there.
