My Meshstastic

I'm always curious and so time ago I found out about Meshstastic browsing around.
For a while I said "meh, OK, cool, no time, no resources, no ...." yeah.

Then I did try for a while a kind of equivalent service based only on smartphone : Bitchat 

I like the idea of both, but of course finding somebody on Bitchat is like to win a lottery ticket .. so everything went back on the back back back burner.

Then one day I decided to try to do something with Meshstastic and here we are 

Eton American Red Cross SOLARLINK Portable Radio ARC FR600

On an antique mall I did find this nice radio, little bit dirty but otherwise in good shape.

Some cleaning notes.

The Old Lady Project - Introduction

Years ago (I think was the 2009) I  did buy, with the idea to restore it, an old tube radio, immediately called "The Old Lady".

The radio is a Truetone D-1001.

However the electronic was really in bad shape and of course, who the heck has time to work on it ?

So the Old Lady went in a box, waiting.
