  1. Wow! Just did a #MeshCore test from Pilot Hill, the highest point on #BlockIsland #RhodeIsland, to the W1OP-Tower repeater at the Providence Radio Association.

    45 miles line of sight over the ocean and land, the first successful bridging of Block Island to the main New England mesh.

    This is what the hobby is all about! I was super excited and floored when I saw a message return from my friend Paul in Concord, MA.

    I was heard in Andover, NH via 12 hops, which is a very long distance.

  2. Block Island old movie theater.

    Pinball for all
    War no more

  3. I took a foggy evening walk down Snake Hole Rd to the bluffs.

    There’s zero light pollution, and no artificial light down this way, so it gets completely dark when there’s cloud cover and no moon.

  4. There's a Book Swap this Saturday (May 16th 2026) from 10am to noon at the Saylesville Friends Meetinghouse in Lincoln, RI , near the Massachusetts border.

    Books are free and you don't have to bring books to swap. This month there's a particularly large number of James Patterson books available, along with many others. Please drop by!

    The book swap is held on the third Saturday of every month.

  5. The bluffs continue to erode naturally, which creates some beautiful views on many of these trails.

    I used to play at the bottom of this bluff as a child and would witness rocks tumble down.

    My parents used to tell me “just watch out for falling rocks!” and I’d disappear for a few hours playing with my sisters.

    Different times in the 80s.

  6. Latest #MeshCore repeater deployment at the Providence Radio Association - W1OP.

    Going up for antenna cable maintenance and securing the radio as high as they can.

    Hope this helps with coverage in #RhodeIsland.

  7. Walking around College Hill on the east side of #Providence #RhodeIsland near Brown and RISD.

  8. We now have a New England regional #MeshCore live map and packet analyzer!

    Spanning 6 states (#Maine, #Massachusetts, #NewHampshire, #Connecticut, #RhodeIsland and #NewYork) we have combined our regional MQTT feeds.

    You can see we have work to do on bridging the CT gap but plans are in the works.

    Each state is coordinating future developments and configuration recommendations as we interact with one another.

    Thanks @yellowcooln for the setup!
