Morning Tony!
Funny you mention meshtastic - I've just received a T-Beam supreme [1] for use with a
different firmware on the 400MHz amateur band for our established 'APRS'
service[2] for location tracking, messaging, brodcast bulletins etc.
It seems like meshtastic is on 868MHz ISM band in the UK so my unit won't be
compatible.
It's quite a cool project, and I'm seeing an uptick of people interested in
amateur radio because of it!
There are some Aberdeen based Meshtastic people -

Hi,
I've just watched a discussion about "Meshtastic" on Destination Linux:
@Iain, are you interested or have you already used something similar for
alerting volunteers to go to a resilience hub and start up the generator
during a winter storm during a prolonged power-cut when all the phone
networks are down?
Bye,
Tony.
