I get messaged quite alot and forget whos messaged me offering what 
Anyone whos building nodes or got some kit available to donate to us all to get the meshcore network better than it is, put it in this chat. surely we all have spare kit lying round and we could all chip in and get these repeaters put up on the mountains etc.
Anyone with built repeaters with solar etc, where do you want them? some of us like going up the mountains, one of us could take it.
Be great to get us all connected.

Am swapping out all my v3 nodes for v4’ on amplifiers
Just waiting on kit to come from china etc etc.hopefully get before Xmas.
So I’ll have 3-4 v3 nodes with pig tales and stubby 
willing to donate to the cause try get Carlisle on a good link to west coast.
So just need to put in a case and add some power.
Awsome Mike, see if anyone else takes them with the aim to build repeaters out of them, if no one does ill get them off you and start mass producing haha, but if others see this and are going to use them to build repeaters before i can get to it, then take them. I wont be able to get anything made up now for a few months.
I have got some kit already as well.
Thanks again Mike I hope someone takes them and gets them put up round the hills of Cumbria and Scotland

Ya no bother
I don’t know the area all to well only been up here for 6m so people tell me areas but mite as well be talking in a different language lol
But once am all swapped out,
They will be up for grabs to anyone willing to build a repeater and maybe need another as a client
Or to even hide up in the hills in a area I don’t know how to get to as not being a local.
If they’re Heltec V3’s they’re going to be pretty poor as standalone repeaters. It might be better to make up some nice low cost companion radio’s and offer them to land owners in exchange for permission to put repeaters down on their land.
Just donated a heltec v3 case battery / and yagi to a nice guy to help get the mesh bit stronger in Carlisle
Well done more people who get setup the better
Got 10 radios on the way. Some are going to be Rock repeaters and I’m open to suggestions on what to do with them. They are all designated as donations to the mesh.
My 3d printers are busy now making the next batch of rocks.
My First rock is with Richard XGO and we talked today about placement of it to try to improve the link north of Whitehaven. My second rock is now complete and I want to use this to provide a link south to Egremont.
Trying to strengthen the link north east a bit so between cockermouth to wigton to carlisle area from the north fells would be a solid goal to try achieve.
thanks Dean thats great that. @Richard is our designated mountain installer 
I have 2 solar power ‘boxes’ from Dave Pegler that I’ve never quite managed to pull together into solar nodes. Happy to add these to the list of kit. They’ll accept either v3 or v4 Heltecs and just need a bit of hardware to make them useful, Or they can be powered off 12v to help with the on board 18650’s
St Bees common has had a node on it before for APRS and it was pretty useful, but it will need something very stealthy to avoid nosey farmers. Other than that there’s always a well placed node off cold fell that would reach nicely. Grike or Crag fell are useful but very busy. North side of lank rigg is rarely visited, as is the north west of seatallan.
Happy to help with deployments is stuff is sufficiently stealthy/disposable. Matthews APRS node was active for a good 18 months before it got eaten by sheep or some clumsy feet
