Let's grow the network together!

About this node
An experimental node on the Reticulum Network. Right now, this node is
quite lonely and in need of some LoRa friends. If you're in the vicinity
and you want to connect, find the LoRa settings and the location below.
Hardware
Raspberry Pi 5 16GB
LILYGO T-Echo
Connections
TCP/IP to the wider Reticulum Network
LoRA for local coverage
LoRa Settings
Frequency: 869.463 MHz
Bandwidth: 125 kHz
Spreading Factor: SF8
Coding Rate: 6
TX Power: 22 dBm
Duty Cycle: 10%
The settings fall within the legal limits of the H4 band in The
Netherlands. This band spans from 869.400 MHz to 869.650 MHz.
See Regeling gebruik van frequentieruimte zonder vergunning en zonder
meldingsplicht 2015 at https://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0036378/ for more
information, or find a copy of the relevant part of the table here.
The frequency is 869.463 MHz, in order to stay away from MeshCore at the
other end of this band, at 869.618 MHz, while being able to use 125 kHz
bandwidth (62.5 kHz on either side) within the legal boundaries. This
frequency was suggested by HarmlessEppo, who operates node 074HGL.
Although 27 dBm (500 mW) is the legal limit, 22 dBm (~158 mW) is the
maximum TX power of the LILYGO T-Echo.
Location
Oegstgeest, The Netherlands, a relatively small town of about 26,000
inhabitants next to the university city of Leiden. If that means nothing
to you, it's about 36 km (22 mi) SW of Amsterdam, and about 16 km (10 mi)
NE of The Hague.
The Maidenhead Grid Square of the node is JO22FE65.

Name
NL is the ISO 3166-2 code for The Netherlands.
OGE is the UN/LOCODE for Oegstgeest.
PKL is the abbreviation of the nearby main road.
