@ON4CDJ At least we live in a wonderful age for the availability of data - amateur science, meteorology etc are all enriched by our ability to collect our own data😊

@g7vkq Also known as 'geeks'.....proud to be one of them 🤓

@ON4CDJ oh absolutely! My wife is constantly amazed at the diversity and obscurity of items that get delivered to our home…geophones, data collection devices, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, particulate and CO2 sensors, antennas, radios, etc! A real smorgasbord of toys 😂😊

@g7vkq Others are collecting stamps and enjoying their hobby as well.....whatever floats your boat as they say. 😉
I recently started messing around with Meshtastic....

@ON4CDJ any hobby is a good thing - it’s the passion and interest that keeps people motivated and gives them extra energy…irrespective of the subject. I have Meshtastic bits being delivered…just waiting on a case now!

@g7vkq @ON4CDJ LoRa 433 boards arrived recently, just trying to find better antennae than those supplied.

@M0CUV @ON4CDJ I bought a small vertical from McGill Microwave https://www.mcgillmicrowave.com/product/6-dbi-tuned-antenna-eu-868-2/ (they have loads of LoRa antennas). I did think about home brewing a Moxon as well
