We are now in the last 48 hours of the campaign, and if you are on the fence, we just published a full breakdown video (13 minutes) of the progress so far :)

This is beyond fascinating. I've been dreaming about this kind of thing, but I didn't know people were making it real. I was just pointed to this article from @jgoerzen today:
"Long-Range Radios: A Perfect Match for Unix Protocols From The 70s"
I miss UUCP. I'm just old enough to have actually gotten my email over UUCP.
Here's the article, and there are a couple more links from the article and comments:

TBeam with the new 2.7beta. Great power consumption so far and better UI

Live tracking with 4× LilyGO T-Beam SUPREME units.
Each node transmits GPS coords every 10s, logs TX/RX to SD, and stays µs-disciplined to avoid collisions. A Semtech SX1303 sniffer on an RPi 4B captures all traffic → UDP → CSV → live web map with fading positions. Includes 49 second video (sped up 500%).
Structured Exercise 12 now documented:

Now that lorapipe has KISS-TNC protocol support for sending and recieving LoRa packets, it means that basically all sorts of ham radio and Linux tooling designed to talk to KISS modems suddenly work over LoRa.
For HAM radio nerds, this means things like APRS -just- work. Follow the instructions in the documentation to get started.
I suspect HAMs can bridge APRS across spectrums to ISM 433/868/915Mhz LoRa now using lorapipe. 😎

Where is LoRa technology headed with regard to Meshtastic versus Meshcore?
I was recently going to buy and set up a couple of Meshtastic nodes/repeaters but decided to wait as I get the impression that Meshcore is gaining consensus as the better technology.
I'm aware that most LoRa electronics can be flashed with either, but I see no point in going too far down the path of learning about one, only to have to switch to the other.
