They’re letting the terrorism button cool off a bit, considering its basically not been let up since September 2001.

I just added this to my eReader. I’ve been reading a lot lately and while I haven’t had any difficulty, I’m eager to see if it enhances comprehension.

Good post OP.

This is the plot of The Village by M Night Shyamalan. Good movie.

I had set up this configuration around 2016 and found it a little clunky. I called it a SkyHole. It was great, and now we have the ability to install DNS profiles on most phones, or configure DNS profiles for PCs such that I use a (“free”) commercial provider and get ad blocking which takes care of 99% of the noise, and don’t have to fuss about with maintaining a dedicated device.

In which country are you located?

If you’re in the US, Hamstudy.org for the amateur bands, and if you plan to use the drone for hire (FAA Part 107), then you’d need to get a Part 107 certificate: https://www.faa.gov/uas/commercial_operators/become_a_drone_pilot#ftp.

Getting on air is what matters, POTA/SOTA are bonuses. Congrats!

At this moment, for example, in 1984 (if it was 1984), Oceania was at war with Eurasia and in alliance with Eastasia. In no public or private utterance was it ever admitted that the three powers had at any time been grouped along different lines. Actually, as Winston well knew, it was only four years since Oceania had been at war with Eastasia and in alliance with Eurasia. But that was merely a piece of furtive knowledge which he happened to possess because his memory was not satisfactorily under control. Officially the change of partners had never happened. Oceania was at war with Eurasia: therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia. The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil, and it followed that any past or future agreement with him was impossible.

Need to hook the antenna up to an analyzer and make sure it has continuity and no other issues. Manufacturing defects happen, and can be insidious if unable to see them. NanoVNAs are great, and inexpensive.

Depending on solar setup, there might be micro switches putting out awfully loud RFI. For a short time use a suitable battery and see if transmissions improve.

Hmm. Those aside has he isolated feedline continuity and grounding, and antenna?

Power supply noise?

I feel like you’ve probably tried all these, but I don’t have any better ideas.

Packet TTL (not sure if this applies in meshtastic) and local noise floor seem like reasonable things to evaluate.

Put them back.
