I might be mistaken, but ham and meshtastic doesn't seem to be either/or. The venn diagram of ham radio operators and meshtastic operators has a huge intersection. The good news is that it's a very cheap system to experiment with. Rokland sells complete radios and radio kits for pretty cheap. So don't let my challenges dissuade you.

@DaveMWilburn@infosec.exchange @boscoandpeck@universeodon.com For sure. You can get going with the mesh for like $30, no license needed. It’s fun! I really enjoy it for hobby experimentation. I just don’t recommend it for life and death things. If you count on it to communicate in an emergency, or help your friends find you in a national forest, or find your lost pet, you’re probably in for a bummer.

@DaveMWilburn@infosec.exchange @tek@freeradical.zone that's true probably a lot of the same people using both solutions. Alright I won't completely write it off. I live in a populated area so there are probably some mesh devices nearby.
