Meshtastic
Starting Saturday, August 1st at 10pm a group of organized Philadelphia Mesh users will be switching from the default frequency preset to a custom one to test if custom presets are more reliable than the default. Frequency Testing Explanation - Philly Mesh
Node List
These nodes are currently operating on 'Long Turbo, Channel 12' or LT12.

Interactive Services
As part of my Meshtastic setup I have a small script that streams information from the county's WebCAD Active Incidents page (similar to the one I have as a Mastodon bot) over the air to a channel called #MontCoPaDPS. After discussion with folks on the Philly Mesh Discord, I published the latest code to vees/montcopadps and opened an issue that when completed will turn it into a more interactive and less network congesting tool.
