Almost 500 nodes on #MediumFast, 250 remaining on MS for migration. If you've put up an MS node, time to make the jump! You can get from Yuba to Monterey without issue! #Meshtastic

The #BayMesh is going to #MediumFast! We're 24 hours in and already 50% migrated. If you're on MS, just change your preset to MF and you're good to go! The infra-nodes on mountain topes (like Thayer, Diablo, Sunol) have already made the jump.

The @noisebridge.bsky.social balloon is away! Unfortunately the #meshtastic node got removed before launch. A learning experience. Next time will be better.

#Meshtastic on Balloons - Live stream youtube.com/live/j7MsniL... tomorrow at 10am. At peak, it's expected to see everything from Los Angelas to Oregon and most of Nevada. Tune in on default LongFast or default MediumSlow and see if you can hit the balloon

(Day later write-up) Balloon was found (because the LongFast node was still transmitting) and recovered! Highest reported altitude was 32,893m (107,916ft) at 12:19 PM.

The RAK on LongFast was in a somewhat insulated container. The T1000E was just attached to the long line bare (yes, they knew that wasn't the "best" idea). Being just a few hour long balloon adventure, it was ok.

Apparently the balloon wasn't a fan of the valley and has swung back around towards the bay. Currently at 30km altitude or 18 miles or 96,394ft - if you prefer freedom units. The T1000E (no gps still) is reporting a toasty 0.4C. Must be getting a lot of sun.

13km on LF. Unfortunately the T1000E GPS (on MS) has protection against using it as an ICBM so it stops reporting location at 10KM
But it's headed NE/East at almost 150kph now.

At -20C the battery .... is having a bad time on the bare exposed T1000E (MS). The LF node has a little more protection so it's likely to survive slightly longer.

Interesting that LongFast is only getting 4 station pickups. Where as MediumSlow is getting pickup out 70+ miles. But we're approaching 10km altitude.
