To help achieve good coverage, MeshCore, the system used by this mesh, requires repeaters, you are more than welcome to add one and administer it yourself, the best locations are usually high up with good views of the surrounding area, these don't need access to mains power as all the devices compatible with MeshCore can run off batteries.
Active Repeaters
The following repeaters are currently active on the mesh at this time:
- Anzio Catterick: To be build from a RAKWireless WisBlock and fitted into a zerofox3D Hermes case using a Paradar outdoor antenna and charged from solar panel and located at my home address (repeater is now live but on test indoors on a temporary antenna)
Planned repeaters
The following repeaters are planned for the mesh (subject to permissions and funds)
- CRDARS Hudswell: If possible due to the height of the location and the fact there is a mast already on the building I would like to put a MeshCore repeater here (something I may consider including as part of a talk), this would most likely be an identical unit to the Anzio Catterick repeater, a repeater here would improve coverage to Richmond from the south, this of course is subject to the radio club agreeing to this.
If you're planning on putting a repeater on the mesh or you have done so do let me know and I'll publish it here so we have an idea of what repeaters are on the mesh and the rough coverage area
