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 - https://meshtastic.liamcottle.net/?lat=57.136798220319456&lng=357.7169036865235&zoom=11
