Hello from Russian Hill in SF. I setup a relay and apparently can reach Sausalito and Tiburon. My signal map is https://www.heywhatsthat.com/?view=CWSUL9F7. I think the Coit Tower relay is a great idea.
Wondering with all of these PG&E outages, if gotenna is working for anyone as intended when the cell towers go down.
I’ve tried from the roof of a 5-story building on 2nd near the ballpark, but so far no success. PM me for my UID if you (anyone really) want to try to ping me.
Installed another full time AC powered relay in SF today at Fishermans Wharf.
This together with my other relay at the base of Coit Tower should improve coverage.
Hello,
Are you in Fremont?
I just got my first pair of GoTenna Mesh Devices.
I tested them yesterday and had good connectivity up to about a mile away from my house
Would like to find another Fremont GoTenna user to test with
Let me know what you think
I wonder if you know anything about the stationary relays that are on the GoTenna map. I see one on Sunol Ridge (which is not far from my house, line-of-sight). It’s a very high place, good for radios.
It’s code is “zad5k6styo”
Anyway, when you get back in Fremont, send me a text here and we can talk about GoTenna Mesh.
Got two relays up in SF. One at Fishermans Wharf on a boat. Other atop Telegraph Hill next to the base of Coit Tower. Checked both last week. Three flashes confirms that they are operating in relay mode. The Coit Tower relay should cover a lot of territory. Line of sight is awesome.
Both Coit Tower and Fishermans Wharf relays are operational. 3 blinks when I press the button. Not sure if they are helping. The Coit Tower relay has incredible line of sight. It’s on a rooftop right across the street from Coit Tower and at the same elevation as tower base. Highest rooftop on Telegraph Hill.
Were you trying to ping the relays that 377 put up? It looks like they are in “relay” mode, so you wouldn’t be able to ping them directly, just use them to relay your message to another node.
