Everything posted on these channels is saved on this website, along with the other public channels our receiver hears from across New England and New York. If you missed an alert, or you are checking why your node did not receive one, you can look it up here. Only public channels are saved, and posts appear with the sender name as it was sent.
Run a node or a repeater in your city and want local alerts? We are making the source code available so you can run Dispatch for your own area. It runs in a container on a Raspberry Pi or any computer. You add a small file with your town's details, and you get your own channels.
The code will be linked here when it is published. Want to be first in line? Email [email protected], or say hello in the Greater Boston Mesh community and mention Dispatch.
The Repeaters page shows the repeaters we hear around Boston on a radar, by distance or by hops, and Mesh links shows which repeaters hear each other. New to MeshCore? The Greater Boston Mesh community is the place to start.
