New Meshtastic node here

[Rod Johnson]

We just finished installing g a mesh node at the house.

  I am using a yagi pointed toward Maple Valley, because they supplied the hardware, and me getting into Issaquah has always been problematic, even on 2M.

  If you have a 900 MHz. mesh and happen to see a station identifier: MAPLEMESHMIRRORMONT, that will be mine.

   I did not choose that name, so it may change later.

Is your antenna a single dipole?

No,

  The current antenna is a 6 or 7 element Cushcraft yagi, vertically polarized, and pointed bearing approximately 210, from my grid CN97al (Mirrormont)

Rod,   You are not showing on my little hand held node TTY4 in downtown Issaquah.

Rod, 

I'm not seeing you yet on the meshmap.net. 
https://meshmap.net/

I don't see any nodes in Maple Valley, they may be using a private mqtt server. 




I have an mesh gateway and a t-beam running, topic:  mesh/US. 

"KK6DF"  and "KK6DF 02"

Unfortunately,  my map location is reporting as being in the middle of Lake Sammamish, not sure why yet or how to fix that.

Apparently the MapleMesh network is a rouge group, and not connected to the outside world.
