Unfortunately no other nodes nearby. But 2 will be moving nodes. Did anyone find some nodes in the wild?

Just got up and running myself and found three nodes so far!

My antenna sucks though so I can't actually message them...yet :-P

I have found nodes in wild across Dallas Texas USA. I actually discovered one less than 3 miles from my house but cant reach them yet because my antennas havent arrived yet and there is not a perfect line of sight.

I got a couple little antennas on the way from digikey for my mobile radios. And I got a big one to mount on my roof for my home node.

These are what I've got coming in that I'll be testing: 1x Meshtastic™ compatible 5.8 dBi N-Male Omni Outdoor 915 MHz Antenna kit with 25 foot SMA male to N-female (400 grade) for $69.97 each 1x ALFA AOA-915-5ACM 5 dbi Omni Outdoor 915MHz 802.11ah Mini LoRa Antenna for the People's Network for $16.97 each
