I don't have anything. I wasn't going to launch off into buying new 
hardware if there wasn't anyone around to connect to or to ask about 
problems.

What hardware did you buy? (I may as well buy something that someone else 
has already got to work).

What can you do with it? I assume you bought two LoRa's and have them 
connecting between two cell phones. Do you just send "hello" between the 
two cell phones?

When you connect in Raleigh, what happens? Does your LoRa give a green 
light? I assume if you don't have an ID for anyone on the mesh, you can't 
send a message.

I'm in Hope Valley, Durham. There's a small chance we could connect.

thanks for popping up.

Joe

Don't upgrade a working machine - it won't work any
better - it could work worse; it may not work at all.
