  I never could really get ahold of anyone to talk to, most Elmers in my area died. So I just use the license as an emergency line. Talked a few times on my HT, but most HAMs in my area use their cell phones nowadays.

    Check out the Quickstart: https://rootaccess.org/wiki/Meshtastic/

    There are others but this is from a local makerspace and I have personally done this setup. It works well, as long as there is a node in a high place.

    Honestly though its a hobby not something that can be relied on unless your whole community gets together. Hope you have fun!
