Hello All,
I got a new node up and running at my QTH on 3.15.1.0b02 and I'll be pointing it different directions although Garret Moutain is in most of my expected paths to other nodes. My node name is K2FTP-NSM2-1. I believe I should be on Channel 3 but please let me know if that is not correct and I'll keep an eye out for any mobile nodes (if they still exist).
Any help/direction/assistance anyone can provide is more than welcome and hopefully I can contribute somehow/someway.

Matt,
Good to hear from you and congratulations on installing you first mesh node. Come visit the local mesh group at the Fair Lawn ARC on any Friday evening from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. We meet in the Fair Lawn Community Center. We are building some infrastructure and could use your help.

Thanks very much for the invitation Randy! I will do my best to get there for next Friday.

Hi Matt, congratulations on getting the node on the air. Where are you located? I'm in West Orange... North is a bad shot for me, right along the ridge. Other directions are possible.

Sorry for the delayed response! I'm in Wayne, on the 287 side, West of Berdan Avenue. Haven't bee able to see anything to date but still trying!

OK on your location. Unfortunately, Garrett Mountain is between us... Maybe when the WX clears, I can go up there and see if there is a path from there.

Are you still on air from that location?
I am to the south east from your QTH. (Valley RD / Hamburg TPK) ... I should have a clear path to your location.
are you still on air? if so what channel are you on?
I am on channel -2 @ 5 MHz
My node name is AL0Y-QTH-1
