Meshtastic is a mesh network for radio communications or something. I'm curious to hear from people who've used it as to what their experience was like.

Pretty busy in my area. I have two radios, one that stays home and one that I bring places. I find it cool that i can see messages from north LA county here in San Diego that are all routed thru a single node someone put out on the coast of Orange County.

Most of the time the chat is just "good morning" etc. During wildfires though I do see local "reporting" of fire progress and first responder presence.

Occasionally people report ICE presence which is kind of cool.
