Last night, my #Meshtastic node showed that it received information from a node 100 miles away, and I dismissed it as just a weird artifact. But tonight, my node is showing that there are three nodes that are around 220 miles away. I do not have MQTT enabled on downlink so they are definitely over RF. But how is that even fucking possible? I live in an area where the mesh is not super well built up and there are only a few people locally that have nodes and I would expect to get nodes from a lot closer than 200 miles away or even 100 miles away considering there are two decently large cities only 70 miles away. Also, so far I have only gotten these messages at night.
