OK on no big meetup. The welcome mat is out for you to see my tower, etc. Friday, Sep. 11th is still good for me- afternoons are better. I've set aside the entire afternoon to do this, and no commitments for evening either. Let me know when you would like to drop by, will give you exact directions if you don't know how to find my address by looking up my Ham callsign... (Hint: WM7D.net or QRZ.com) See post below, concerning the tower installation...

Check this bad boy out! I've got one enroute and it should be here before I hit the road tomorrow. You want dibs? https://amzn.to/4yQIUbV

Is it intersting?

You pretty much nailed it. This is more "milspec" but definitely something to keep our eye on. What I'm hoping for in the future (call it phase 2) is that once we get enough end users on our MeshCore network, the folks who enjoy the technical aspect of it, can upgrade some of the extra nodes to the Reticulum Network. In short, this will let multiple RF systems interact with each other regardless of the bands where the message (data) originated. A Ham on a digital handheld radio (with a keypad mind you) can send a txt message over Reticulum the then gets rerouted to a Meshcore chat room. Its awesome... https://reticulum.network/index.html

Unfortunately, I have bitter memories of events being turned against those who participated. The bigger gatherings have been plumb targets for infiltration and misdirection. I'm thinking here of both convoys and of J6. True, there are some few rays of hope. The big gathering in the early convid days at the Lincoln Memorial was an unqualified success, but I think that one stands as a rare exception. My participation in the freedom movement has been focused through the lens of Telegram- plus a lot of surfing alt-media online. I can find traces of myself on Telegram going back to at least 2021, during the early and worst years of the convid fraud. I was a late comer to the social media venues, and that was a very conscious and deliberate decision on my part. All social media venues online are heavily infiltrated and monitored. With the exception of a very few such as Telegram, they are also heavily and actively censored... 'Rallys' were a strong and dominant theme in those early convid years. I witnessed firsthand the skillful disruption of those types of groups on Telegram. A case study in how to misdirect and neutralize any brush fires of popular discontent. The 'Rand Report', commissioned by the federal government, was pretty effectively implemented against us all. Most folks have never even heard of it. All traces of it have been scrubbed from the net. The only reason I even know about it was through historian/UFOlogist Richard Dolan, who covered it in one of his reports back then. Rand identified 4 types of groups of concern to 'the authorities. Topping the list was white nationalist groups. Rounding out the bottom of the list was 'those UFO guys', who were characterized as essentially harmless kooks, but who should be reasoned with when possible. The two middle categories I no longer have a sharp recollection of the details, but suffice to say that many freedom-oriented groups such as this particular Telegram group fall squarely into those 2 categories.
