THE LOCAL RECORD
Build it.
Take it outside.
A working record of radios, routes, antennas, experiments, workshops and the people figuring out what a local mesh can become.
WHY THIS EXISTS
The network is
the field work.
New Haven County CT Mesh is a local record of building and testing low-power radio in the real world. This is where routes, hardware, antenna experiments, lessons learned, maps, builds, and useful local knowledge get written down.
FIELD NOTES
Take the radio
outside.
Good range information comes from actual places, actual terrain, actual antennas, and careful notes. The field log is built around repeatable tests rather than impressive-looking claims.
THE COUNTY / 001
Know
the ground.
The project starts here: twenty-seven municipalities, one county, and a lot of places worth testing.

NEW TO MESHTASTIC?
Start here.
You do not need to know everything before you begin. Use the short path below to choose hardware, set up a device, and find your way into the local network.
THE NOTEBOOK
Four ways into the project.
COMMUNITY / 001
Build it.
Bring the notes.
The mesh gets more useful when field work becomes shared knowledge. You can contribute without running infrastructure.
OUTSIDE THE COUNTY
Local first.
Never local only.
New Haven County is the workshop floor. Connecticut communities and neighboring mesh projects become part of the record when they add something useful.

Going somewhere?
Find the mesh first.
Use the directory to find local communities, maps, and public resources before you travel. Start with discovery, then verify with the people maintaining the network.

NEXT FIELD NOTE
Bring a radio.
Write it down.
One test is enough to start. One useful observation is enough to share.
