Mount Panorama Relay Node
Status: In Progress
This project aims to deploy a high-gain, solar-powered Meshtastic relay node at a high-elevation point on Mount Panorama. The goal is to provide wide-area LoRa coverage for the entire Bathurst basin and the surrounding plains, significantly enhancing the local Meshtastic network's range and reliability.
The node will be built using a robust, weatherproof enclosure, a high-gain omnidirectional antenna, and a solar panel with a battery system to ensure continuous, year-round operation.
