    Hi meshers,

    I am in Wallis mountains and wish to improve the network in this region.

    I own a LILYGO T-Deck (Wanted to start with something I can rely on before switching to the DIY world :))

    I might place a node in my vehicle and also some solar fixed nodes to make it works.

    At the moment I just flashed my LILYGO with meshtastic and configured it following the doc. I see nothing around me I guess it's a bad sign :)

    Will take it with me in the train tomorrow and see if down the mountain I get a better signal.

    Very good initiative and lovely design for this website thank you!

    Thank you.

    I would recommend to take a node and a powerbank and hike up a hill, i am sure you will see some nodes, maybe the NFS node from central Switzerland.
    That, would then be a good place to put up a solar node to get the connection redirected to your home town.

    Kind regards
