The “red so239 ground spike telecopic whip antenna” kit from AliExpress has arrived - an article on the parts is at https://brokensignal.tv/pages/20-meter-vertical-whip-antenna-under-25.html - lunchtime shenanigans, methinks.

@M0CUV@mastodon.radio dumb non-HAM question: how useful would this be for setting up a temporary LoRa #meshtastic or #meshcore repeater, given they run on 868MHz in the UK? If the hardware isn’t immediately suitable can it be modded, or is similar hardware (at a similar price point) available that *will* work in that frequency range? I ask as I’m pondering use of mesh[core|tastic] for comms while at a music festival with very poor mobile signal. Sticking one of these up at the campsite may boost coverage.
