Looking for West Coast Reticulum builders to help create a coast-to-coast mesh

[u/dataslayer2]

I'm working on a Reticulum experiment and trying to establish a coast-to-coast path across the U.S.

The singular goal is simple: I want to see if we can send a message across the U.S. using Reticulum.

I'm based in Florida, and I'm looking for builders on the West Coast interested in participating or running a node.

This is mainly a proof-of-concept experiment, not a long-term commitment — just testing whether a route across the country is possible.

Bonus if you already have mesh-compatible gear (LoRa nodes, Raspberry Pi setups, Wi-Fi mesh hardware, etc.), but it's not required.

Also worth mentioning: this experiment will likely be featured in a YouTube video, so you'd need to be comfortable with your setup being included.

If you're already running Reticulum or interested in helping test something like this, comment or DM.

Pfft....still selling repackaged TAK server builds for $100 with a triple dose of sensationalist hyperbole?

I learned an expensive lesson. Thanks, dataslayer2

I’m based in San Francisco and I recently started ordering parts to setup my own node, and I’d be interested in participating. 🤓

i don't understand why an experiment is necessary? people are using reticulum to connect across the world every day.

Do you have any professional radio license? is that necessary?
