plateau - Meshtastic notes
+I deployed fixed nodes at the Col, on the path to KH and to Balkon. So far we seem to have good messaging capability around the plateau. Ash messaged from the KH entrance and Chris from the Balkon entrance. Both messaging were received at top camp. The larger issue is getting people to pay attention to the app to see when people are asking questions. +

+I have set the basecamp fixed node to connect to an mqtt server run by a friend in America. While on the plateau, I set my node to proxy mqtt via my phone and showed we could bridge meshes at top camp, base camp and America. More work is needed for a reliable plateau connection. Base camp uses a fixed node with wifi capability. Anthony Day has proposed a cellular internet solution for top camp, this should be investigated harder now. Bridging the plateau mesh to base camp would be brilliant! +

+Operationally, the text part of meshtastic works nicely, covering all parts of the plateau to date. (Or at least what people have tried) Position mapping seems a bit wonkey. More study is needed here. Is this phone related, app settings etc . Iphone app is crashing, apparently due to gps polling settings. +

+The final problem is working out why people say leaving their phones on kills their battery. I am hopeful using airplane mode with only bluetooth on resolves this issue. +
