If you dont use the default LongFast meshtastic is really empty. I switched my node to MediumSlow, since it's like 86% faster than LongFast. I knew there would not be any in my area, so I subscribed to the msh/US MQTT topic and theres still nobody else. I'm going to leave it like that for a while and see if I hear anything during any kind of band openings or catch any other MQTT nodes trying out that topic. And yes, both uplink and downlink are enabled. I do know that there are some nodes in the Bay Area on msh/US/mqtt-bayme-sh, but I am not near their.

This thread is my first introduction to mesh and am curious if it might be worth investigating further. I looked at the map above and see that my nearest "neighbour" is about 900km away, then I see your post where you seem happy that you got 60 miles. I guess things would be quite for me for a looong time if I built a node.
