Also Shawn 2 et oui je parle francais aussi

Hello, I am Shawn, I am a remote area transmitter technologist

I have been on the Ottawa Mesh since June of 2026

You probably already know where I work, if not, you will get clued it pretty quickly...

I am a remote area transmitter technologist, that means I work in radio broadcast, on towers on top of mountains in the middle of nowhere... Towers are quite convenient for this mesh hobby.

My formal education is as an Electrical engineering technologist specialized in telecommunication.

How did I discovered Meshcore?

since June 22 2026 after I tested Meshtastic on the mountain, where I quickly discovered that it is dead, and then I was amazed after I flashed Meshcore on my Amazon Heltec V3. I got greeted by Bender, that sent me to the website (and discord), then quickly by NISMO, another Overseer. After that, it got evident that the tower where I work would be an ideal spot for a core infrastructure repeater (Backbone Site) and we started making plans. Those plans resulted in the CBC-FORTUNE-R1 repeater. I also installed CBC-Archives-R2 and one at home Shawn-R1.
