Field notes

The page describes a chain in which a phone connects to a pocket radio over Bluetooth, while elevated radios relay messages between locations. It names communities across the coast and links to a map and analyzer said to show repeater check-ins and traffic. Visitors can find a getting-started path, offer a location for a repeater, or join the project's Discord.
