NHC / TRAVEL MESH

Find the local mesh before you arrive.

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.

01FIND

Choose your destination and locate the regional community.

02MAP

Check public maps for nodes, repeaters, and coverage clues.

03VERIFY

Read the local documentation or ask the people maintaining the network.

04TRAVEL

Bring your gear with current information instead of assumptions.

01 / MAPS

Start with the maps

Look for nearby nodes, repeaters, and community coverage. Node details can sometimes point toward local configuration and surrounding resources.

02 / COMMUNITY

Find the local operators

Check regional websites, Reddit communities, Discord servers, ham-radio clubs, and other public resources. These often contain information a map cannot provide.

03 / VERIFY

Confirm before you travel

Settings and network activity can change. Treat directory entries as a starting point and verify current information whenever possible.

TRAVEL CHECKLIST

Five minutes before you leave.

  1. 01Check the destination in the directory.
  2. 02Open any listed maps and regional resources.

COMMUNITY MAINTAINED

Know a resource we're missing?

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.

Why we don't publish a giant settings list

Radio settings can become outdated, and local networks may have their own documented practices.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.
