Re: Looking for VARA FM Nodes in Northern Maine
I got into Meshtastic too, only to find out that in rural America there isn't much going on with that (or AREDN for that matter), but I guess that just means I need to build better antennas!

Re: Suggested frequencies for 2300 Hz use on HF

Re: Suggested frequencies for 2300 Hz use on HF
I would recommend staying above 20M (17 & up). Less congestion thereby lowering your probability of creating QRM. Let pskreporter.info be your guide.? 73 Chuck N7CHS
