Carrying a GPS tracker wouldn’t be the smartest thing to do, wouldn’t we need someone like Europe or Canada who control their own satellites to assist?

Would this spark the beginning of a space war?

    NVIS is hard to locate without flyovers. It bounces the signal of the ionosphere kind of like a water hose shooting water straight up . Transmit and reposition. Range is up to 800km’s .

    Alt flood of meshtastic nodes, without GPS data provide encrypted rebroadcast capability.

      Is there a ready-to-use meshtastic device? Because they look interesting but I hate to have to build it myself or have to dig around and flash the firmware. I like stuff to be useable out of the box.

        Yea there are some pretty cool ones these days that resemble a blackberry. Checkout the " t-deck plus" by lilygo. The repeater nodes could be cheap solar powered remotes setup at high vantage points, wouldn’t need too many to get city coverage given the line of sight , drone drop’em on a couple of highrise rooftops and off you go. …in theory.
