Hello again, so far my mesh has been great as a neighborhood range gimmic (no harm, just bummed there aren't more adopters locally), but I'm hoping to go further. Turns out a neighboring town has a more extensive mesh than my own. Aside from convincing a bunch of people in between to set up meshtastic, could I go and set up a yagi and point it towards a known node for example? I am atop a hill and likey have LOS, but even if I get a signal, how should this be repeated if not by another node close to the yagi? Or rethink this entirely? Thank you all in advance

Hello meshers, I have a friend who is a licensed US HAM operator, I'm curious if they're then required to use their meshtastics in HAM mode, or if that's only for airtime and power limitations. Certainly has been a fun hobby ro pick up

I tried searching for answers as to why these machines are reaching out to numerous locations despite not using PrusaConnect. Location lookup returns the expected Czech, as well as location across the US. I recently also set a friend up with with an Elegoo printer and that was expectedly noisy as hell, but I was surprised with Prusa being the 'privacy pick'.

For those curious, here's the logs since about midnight, it seemingly doesn't talk during the day.
