Node Operators
Who's on the mesh, and roughly where
Information
This website is very beta. Many pages are broken or they just don't exist. Please be patient, I am only one person. Thanks!
This is a list of the people running nodes on the New Welsh Mesh. It's not a tracking map, you decide what you put here. A rough area is plenty, nobody needs your exact location.
If your node's on the air, add yourself. It helps everyone know who's about, where the coverage roughly is, and who to give a shout if something needs looking at.
The list is split into three. Add yourself to whichever matches your node:
- Client Operators — everyday personal and home nodes (CLIENT and its variants).
- Repeater Operators — fixed infrastructure nodes that exist to extend range (ROUTER, ROUTER_LATE, REPEATER).
- Other Operators — special-purpose nodes like trackers and sensors.
Not sure which yours is? The Device Roles page explains the types.
How to add yourself
- Click the edit button, the pencil icon in the top right of this page.
- Find the section that matches your node and add a row to that table.
- Send it over. Once it's had a quick look it'll show up here.
Not comfortable editing the page? No problem, drop your details in the Discord and we'll add you.
Keep it sensible
Share as much or as little as you like. A node name and a rough area, town or valley, is all that's needed. Don't go putting your home address on a public web page.
Client Operators
Everyday personal and home nodes, the ones people actually message from.
| Node Name | Short | Area | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DayerFDeck | FDTD | Gilfach Goch / Tonyrefail | Client | N/A |
| DayerIDV3 | IDV3 | Gilfach Goch / Tonyrefail | Client | N/A |
Repeater Operators
Fixed infrastructure nodes that sit somewhere useful and extend the mesh. The Owner column is here because a repeater usually has nobody sitting at it, so people need to know who runs it if something goes wrong.
| Node Name | Short | Area | Type | Owner | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DayerRP | DRPT | Gilfach Goch / Tonyrefail | Router / Repeater | DayerFDeck | N/A |
Other Operators
Special-purpose nodes, GPS trackers, sensors, that sort of thing.
| Node Name | Short | Area | Type | What it does | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Nothing here yet. If you're running something out of the ordinary, stick it in.
What goes in each column
- Node Name — the long name shown in the Meshtastic app.
- Short — your 4-character short name.
- Area — rough location. A town or valley, not your postcode.
- Type — the node's role: Client, Router, Tracker, and so on. See Device Roles if you're not sure.
- Owner (repeaters) — the name or personal node of whoever runs it, so people know who to contact.
- What it does (other) — what the node's actually for, like "GPS tracker" or "weather sensor".
- Notes — anything handy. Solar-powered, always on, portable, that sort of thing.
