Who is on the air, the tools they use, and where to find your local mesh. Public projects and organizations only.
Busy hours on the mesh: 6 am to 11 pm (from real traffic). Routine posts would wait for these hours; serious weather warnings would not. Sending: on. Serious alerts from trusted sources may post on their own; everything else is checked by a person first. Every post stays in the Boston region.
