        In NSW Australia there are hardly any two near each other. What is the point of all these people even buying one if you don’t team up with at least one neighbour?

          Set up your own emergency grid. I’ve got a couple solar powered nodes around so I can contact my wife even from the villages that aren’t in mobile coverage.

            It is delusional to think the chances are good of a neighbor just looking up the map and joining in. Geeks need to talk to people in real life, especially in their neighborhood. Team up with at least one other person. Use word of mouth. That is effective change.

            Unfortunately I live in a remote area with non-tech people who are not conservative enough to be preppers. I will still run it past them though.

          If you can get one up high, they can reach hundreds of kilometers.

          They’re all over the West Coast of the US because of all the hills, and there are generally decent nets in cities with high rises.
