You've tried putting the youngest into one of yer boxes!
Yer plane spotting spot, founf playing yer left or right game. In't it hard miss an airfield that big...
And ther were me thinking you'd be fighting over tat, as you'd have taken the only one. To aid in yer skyward viewing.
Yer neighbour returned the same day?
Sounds as though you enjoyed yer day out though.

You bought her a radio to allow her to listen in to what they're saying. Or is it on yer presents list.
Still Ireland calls out to you. There must be summat it's trying to tell you.
What's a "10 hop one"?

Yeah, works for EZY (and her bloke)..out, back, end of shift.

It's trying set up for video x4.0 seems the best for the big jets, x4.2 for the normal sized ones...
10 Hop?
It gets passed along the 'mesh' via 10 repeaters placed on high spots.
I'm back on my home node so dunno if I can still access the mobile one list, I will look after a :cuppa:

It's a scanner I bought years ago...

The Ire connection?
@sco and @ioi have created a seperate channel to keep it between us and them. ENG is in uproar...I think @Wal is with us now..they have just got as far N as Inverness and N onto the mesh, sterling work by those concerned. Devices are .8 of a watt max...on 868Mhz. Google Meshcore, avoid the UK site..

Out and back at the end of the working day. How does that work for you.

Trying, sounds as though "it" knows what it's doing...
Yer contact with Cork, passed on ten times before it reached you. That simple an explanation?
Don't go rushing yer cuppa. Have biscuit, maybe even two...

A hand me down then.

Well Ireland seems to be "calling you"
Keeping the Gaelic connection. Not too many down here, unless you head for the SW and the toes. ENG can roar as loud as it wants, but it'll do no good if no-ones bothered about missing us/them. Wal not been on here these last sixteen years. You got the right person.
Any idea how you'd get it on a mobile?

Next time, I'm out, I'll see if the information is still on the app,
I change to my home node as soon as I get back.
Apparently they caught some one up Aberdeen way at 17 hops so mine was kinda direct.
Look at it this way, folk have worked hard to have this network from the Cork area and now have extended up to Orkney, some bright folks out there

I sent out an 'message' as they call it, I was 3/4m from home :laugh: see attached

That .8 of watt must have overloaded the Home node:rolleyes:.
I leave to them who know all about it..
Note the channel name but the main thing is the 'Region' in this case Sco, Ireland is IOI.
This restricts access to this setup.
Reet off to log..

What node is used away from home, and how do the two differ. Had a google as you suggested, and it seems there's extra to buy before I could use it on a phone. I take it a radio license is still required, or is it?
The hops got shorter when they reached the mainland.
The Irish beat you too it in getting the system connecting the two countries. Where there's a will... Is this what yer solar powered project will be adding to, when up and running.

Sent from yer mobile, via the app?
You've overloaded the system, possibly breaking it. Hope they don't find out it were you responsible.
If I were to gain access the system in Ireland, would I be allowed to use it . They'd recognise an english phone number.
Enjoy yer logging, then rest, for who knows what will be delivered tomorrow.

I have a home and say, a portable node..
I differenciate one as Callsign Home and Callsign BOB,
this is the Meshcore thing..
You don't need a licence to operate as it is based in the 868Mhz small devices band, there is a cycle limitation, I'm rethinking it and maybe moving to something else as tbh it is poor coverage where I am
Meshcore I get aircraft scatter, I'm convinced so only when i'm out I get some use out of it.
You have to check coverage in any area you'd use but if you are in a valley away from the urban sprawl, I'd avoid.
If using Meshcore, they have kept the ENG warring factions out and as I said created a mesh with Sco and NWales.

Solar is out the back running, would have set it up but with the main repeater going down, I'll make a decision at some point.
Phone numbers do not come into it, apps don't recognise a countries number..
This is Meshtastic but the main repeater i feed into has gone down and instead of 70 plus at times, I'm getting 16 at most.
I'd be better redeplying this kit as something else out there.

Can't you cut your nodes, to spite it!
Sounds easy enough so far...
No licence sounds good. Less to pay out...
You spent money getting yerself up and running a few months ago, and yer rethinking it already.
Living right under the North-South routes and final approaches for Leeds-Bradford and Manchester doesn't sound too hopeful though.
In a valley with an unrestricted view to the southern horizon, not that far from any urban sprawl. Ireland would be almost the exact opposite. Except for the distance viewable to the naked eye...
Yer not really selling this, "warring English factions" to be wary off.

Solar set up and running nowt. Tha's wasting money.
I was thinking more if they'd recognise the phone number on setup. As nearly all seem to want access to the phone and contacts.
T'weren't you and yer contacting Ireland that reduced the available numbers by any chance.
Something out there, cue the X-files theme tune.

Ooh ay... Other things, you got the time to do other things!
Portable fridge to keep yer cans/bottles chilled?
Does it deliver them to you, saving you walking.
Too big to have come off your printer.

Too big to have come off your printer.

Original creator had broken it down into colours and areas,
18 plates populated then printed (I bagged each one as not to get confused),
no need for glue or anything.
The bolts were even printed
Who ever did this is a genius as even i could clip and build it.
Young Beag gets it if he wants it,
supposed to be 13 inch tall but I'll test that in the morning,
flung one of those coke can mini-fridges out not that long ago.

36 hours work they reckon...
under half of my longest print job..
Log time

Well I take back what I said about it being too big for your printer. Looks good.
First thought was it were a Lego R2-D2 you'd finished building, but thrown by the can at the side of it. Oversized Airfix type kit...
If Young 'Un doesn't want it, I'd say you'd get a jaw dropping "Wow" moment if you were to offer it to someone else.
Coke can fridge not up to the job of keeping yer drinks cold?

36 hours non stop, or as and when to get it done. Assembly time...
Longest print job five days! What were you making/printing?
Any odd one in there today.

It was a Cryptex,
I'll look and see if I can find the image of it, goggle the name which will tell you about it.
It was done with a smaller nozzle which took so long..
The estimated time was 36 total printing, I did the bigger bits overnight...
Dunno, I was pretty amazed at it.
Link to website HERE
That was my best print yet..

It did cost me a few bob:laugh:
Fridge?
Nah, I get to see Mrs M when I go to the fridge downstairs, remember BobCentral is upstairs.
I need fed and watered..

The Da Vinci piece?
I goggled the name and got "Security Systems".
Smaller nozzle = better finish?
And the real time printing was how long compared to estimated time...
I'm not knocking it. It does look good, there's no disputing that. And no supports required it seems. less cleaning up before assembly.
I can see eyes turning towards it...

A few bob.
You've not seen the R2-D2 fridge/cooler?
You call her up when you need summat, she's then to make a second trip back up to "Bob Central" Command.
You'll survive. One way or another
