Landing page captured for the 2026-10-05 issue.
For
Graham County Meshtastic builders and neighbors
Worth noticing
The page explicitly warns that public network observations should not be mistaken for verified local infrastructure.

Field notes

The homepage lays out a three-step entry path: choose a node, build coverage, then learn radio basics. It names handheld, vehicle, home, solar, and coordinated infrastructure as build paths, and points to field calculators, dashboards, and monitoring software. Its observatory description carefully separates public observations from verified local infrastructure; the extracted text does not establish the extent of actual coverage.
