Start with the maps
Look for nearby nodes, repeaters, and community coverage. Node details can sometimes point toward local configuration and surrounding resources.
NHC / TRAVEL MESH
Maps are a useful starting point. Local communities are the next step.
Mesh activity is not always visible from one map or directory. A network may be absent from a mapping service, use a different configuration, or simply be documented by a local club or community website.
Choose your destination and locate the regional community.
Check public maps for nodes, repeaters, and coverage clues.
Read the local documentation or ask the people maintaining the network.
Bring your gear with current information instead of assumptions.
Look for nearby nodes, repeaters, and community coverage. Node details can sometimes point toward local configuration and surrounding resources.
Check regional websites, Reddit communities, Discord servers, ham-radio clubs, and other public resources. These often contain information a map cannot provide.
Settings and network activity can change. Treat directory entries as a starting point and verify current information whenever possible.
TRAVEL CHECKLIST
COMMUNITY MAINTAINED
This directory is designed to point travelers toward local communities, not freeze every network's configuration into a permanent list. If you operate a local mesh or know of a public resource we should include, send it our way.
Radio settings can become outdated, and local networks may have their own documented practices. Keeping the directory focused on discoverability makes it easier for travelers to reach the people maintaining each network and check current information.
