A lot of people post glamorous photos. I’ll share my camera roll.

This photo is me trying to take a picture of a prewired J box for an EV trying to see any-fucking-lettering I can. Why? Is this #6 or #8? Well, dear reader, now I wish I hadn’t packed my calipers.

More @meshtastic.org nodes on the node map today.

I did realize that once I put my client up on the roof, I will need something to connect to the BLE and serve as a UI for it. Huh. Something to think about.

I’m kind of surprised how well @meshtastic.org works with my node sitting sideways on my desk inside.

ACARS antenna and decoding is all set up. Using the same antenna for ACARS and GOES.

This is pretty cool to see. This is coming from a Westjet 738 heading into Vancouver, flying about 200 miles away.

The new 1090mhz antenna has an awesome line of sight!
