I'm sorry to hear that. Good luck!

It would probably be harder but not impossible. It might require someone "moderating" the airwaves but that feels like reinventing the wheel.

Have you gone through with your car build? I want to do the same and was wondering if anyone else had any luck.

I appreciate your faith in me. Aside from YouTube videos, are there any books to learn from that you know of?

I think I'm not savy enough to follow along with most of them. I get a "rest of the fucking owl" feeling from a lot of them

 

What are some good resources for learning how to create nodes. Say I want to get creative and make a solar powered node that I can stick on my car's roof rack. How do I even go about learning how to do that?

I have not connected to MQTT. I'll have to look into that as I didn't know where to start with it.

 

I think I have a decent setup (heltec v3, 3000mah battery, aftermarket antenna) yet I struggle to make contact with anyone. I'm a little confused as I do receive messages on the general the Long-Fast channel but my messages never seem to send or be acknowledged. Am I doing something wrong or is this just the nature if radio comms?
