PYMESH WORLD ATTEMPT on Saturday 22 September 2019
-
What is this really all about? Is it actually practical? I am assuming a radio only network is desired with no other back-haul connections. Is this correct?

Sebastian from ITU Copenhagen here - we ll be joining from the heights of the danish mountains :)

Could join from Telegraphenberg Potsdam/Germany. If it fails we could also use some ancient long range transmission technique :).

Hi guys, apologies for the radio silence.
So there are a bunch of us from a variety of backgrounds looking to attempt the planets biggest open access mesh on 22nd September using IoT equipment. We are using LoPy4s and FiPys to create the mesh, all of the roles within in too. I have personally gone over 530km using the LoPy on SF12 (TX 14 dB) so am pretty confident we can connect very long distances using the Pycom kit.
Our objective is to have a co-opetition where each countries or groups within countries try to replicate the Marconi Dx from Wales to New South Wales in 1918 (17200km).
Everyone is welcome to join in and everything is open to discussion.
It'd be great to have you join us, one of our most important objectives is to to connect and collaborate with link minded individuals and the community so please don't hesitate to reach out.

@sebastian-bttrch I think the Viking modus operandi involves smooth bottomed ships doesn't it? ;-)
-
@tuftec There are a number of ways to do it. We are aiming to go p2p (16x) and also break out to the web every 16 hops (possibly 32) ;-)

@Bettina I can join the party, taking my devices to the highest spot around, at a high of 460m, with a good view to north-west. Is it planned to spread a specific firmware image/application for that challenge?
-
@crumble Velcro might be cheaper ;-) It would be fun to watch the welding balancing act on the high bridge though ;-)
-
hi,
whats the plan?
what can we do/prepare? -
@Bettina This topic has been silent for a month. It is 6 days to Sep 22nd now, and no activity. May I assume that the attempt is silently canceled?
