Under 200 MediumSlow nodes remaining. There is more MediumFast in Northern California than there is even LongFast. If you're in NorCal and use #Meshtastic, join the MediumFast adventure!

Meshtastic Bay Area Group @bayme.sh · 23/10/2025

Almost 500 nodes on #MediumFast, 250 remaining on MS for migration. If you've put up an MS node, time to make the jump! You can get from Yuba to Monterey without issue! #Meshtastic

The #BayMesh is going to #MediumFast! We're 24 hours in and already 50% migrated. If you're on MS, just change your preset to MF and you're good to go! The infra-nodes on mountain topes (like Thayer, Diablo, Sunol) have already made the jump. #Meshtastic

👋 Support for the T-Deck Pro landed in v2.7.4 🎉 We never gave it a proper announcement—so if it slipped by, surprise! 🚀 It’s supported and ready in the #Meshtastic Flasher. 👉 Flash your T-Deck Pro now: msh.to/flash 👉 Don’t have one yet? Grab yours here: msh.to/t-deck-pro

A hand holds the LILYGO T-Deck Pro e-ink device showing the Meshtastic interface. The background resembles a newspaper, highlighting the e-ink screen theme. Text above reads “T-Deck Pro Now Supported!” with a link at the bottom: “https://flasher.meshtastic.org”.

Attention Meshtastic Users! If you are located in Western Washington, we are coordinating a switch to ShortFast for the month of May. This should help our mesh grow and support more message traffic. #pugetmesh #meshtastic #lora

Meshtastic Bay Area Group @bayme.sh · 02/05/2025

We’ve been running MS for many months now and continuing to grow. It’s worked very well so far and been a better experience than LF. SF is a serious jump in speed, we’re curious to hear how it goes for you!

📡 Does your #meshtastic mesh have 60+ nodes, high traffic, or is an urban area? If so, you may have outgrown the default LongFast modem preset. Learn when and why to switch for better performance. 🔗 Check out our latest blog post: meshtastic.org/blog/... #LoRa #MeshNetworking

The @noisebridge.bsky.social balloon is away! Unfortunately the #meshtastic node got removed before launch. A learning experience. Next time will be better.

Meshtastic Bay Area Group @bayme.sh · 29/03/2025

The @noisebridge.bsky.social balloon is about to go up! We don't have video but we're still tracking it live on stream youtube.com/live/j7MsniL... Looks like the #Meshtastic node has bad location data, but will work for MediumSlow mesh repeating (we have other tracking options)

(Day later write-up) Balloon was found (because the LongFast node was still transmitting) and recovered! Highest reported altitude was 32,893m (107,916ft) at 12:19 PM.

Meshtastic Bay Area Group @bayme.sh · 09/02/2025

The RAK on LongFast was in a somewhat insulated container. The T1000E was just attached to the long line bare (yes, they knew that wasn't the "best" idea). Being just a few hour long balloon adventure, it was ok.

Meshtastic Bay Area Group @bayme.sh · 08/02/2025

Apparently the balloon wasn't a fan of the valley and has swung back around towards the bay. Currently at 30km altitude or 18 miles or 96,394ft - if you prefer freedom units. The T1000E (no gps still) is reporting a toasty 0.4C. Must be getting a lot of sun.

Meshtastic Bay Area Group @bayme.sh · 08/02/2025

13km on LF. Unfortunately the T1000E GPS (on MS) has protection against using it as an ICBM so it stops reporting location at 10KM But it's headed NE/East at almost 150kph now. meshview.bayme.sh/packet_list/...
