if you can get a node on your roof or something like that

Yeah the WAF of the aesthetics in that solution is probably not high enough for that to be an option

Hm, yeah closest one on meshmap is ~65km away. But there should be a rooftop node about 26km from me with a large-ish omni antenna according to the local meshtastic discord

Seems there are no nodes within reach of me though 🤥 at least not with a handheld device and the antenna it came with…

This was exactly it! Added my user to dialoit and it worked right away

Isn’t meshcore proprietary and not open source?
