Anzio Catterick commissioned and the mysterious YM-Catterick discovered on the MeshCore internet map

The Anzio Catterick repeater is now commissioned, though it will be coming down for an antenna swap in a few weeks as all it is using right now is a Paradar indoor antenna which should be OK for now, however this repeater has now established linking to Manchester at best, a repeater on the far side of Manchester (Warrington direction from what I can tell from map information) advertised on flood and worked its way through the mesh to myself, a trip of 69 miles(!) which is certainly not bad at all.

Also tonight I discovered the existence of "YM-Catterick", this is a repeater that according to the map is randomly deployed in some woodland at the Scotton and Tunstall end of Catterick but this might not be its actual location, but I am aware it is there and it will help add to the Richmondshire Mesh a lot and help the mesh expand beyond Richmondshire, as I write this I have not heard a peep out of it ping wise, but it has been routing traffic as "<unknown repeater>", of course as soon as it flood adverts then Anzio Catterick will see it as a zero-hop neighbour, default flood advertisement times are usually every 3 hours, direct is either disabled or at least hourly, if you are reading this and are the owner of "YM Catterick" I would love to hear from you and I am monitoring the public channel so please do say hi and we can have a chat there.

Anyway, that's all for this update to the mesh operations, I'll hope to catch you on the mesh very soon
