With Meshtastic radios emitting at most 100mW, line-of-sight frequency and the protocol being robust ONLY when mesh density and node reachability is at an IDEAL sweet spot - it wasn’t very usable beyond experimentation. In my area I couldn’t reliably exchange messages 20mi away :/ I ended up taking down my Meshtastic node and selling all equipment to another ham wishing to get a head start :)

While at it, I sold my Xiegu G90. I am still experimenting with SDRs for HF receiving and still learning CW on Morserino-32… :)

In December after trying multiple Iambic paddles, I designed my own which I call CWmouse. It is based on mouse micro switches, ball bearing races and 3d printed parts. It has very crisp action not unlike mouse buttons or mechanical keyboard.
