My first Meshtastic radio! And the smallest case I could find. (more photos inside) (thelemmy.club)

Smallest that would fit a battery and a Heltec v4.

Live in a fairly small town in the southeast US but the local Amateur Radio club has a Meshtastic radio on a tall building in town and I was immediately able to see ~20 nodes and had 5 people talking in LongFast.

Wish I could have an outdoor pole mounted base station, but living in an apartment makes it hard. It seems to work okay on my 3rd floor windowsill though!

But it’s also important to remember you’re throwing radio signals out, you can be tracked by that if someone is determined.

Of course. I was thinking more about a situation where it can be inferred based on things someone has said online about their use of this kind of device and has said about their general location that a particular node is at their home and that is their address (or one of only a few possibilities). Sounds like it's got that taken care of.
