I posted here a couple days ago, but I think my post was removed. Someone accused me of being a bot… But I’m not a bot. I’m not sure what that’s about. Maybe it’s the way I write.

Anyway. I want to set up a base station on my house. I looked on the metastatic site and the nearest base station to me is around 25 miles away. Is it possible to reach this far with equipment a mere mortal can possess?

I live on a hill in a marine environment is that helps. I can power it with mains power or set up a solar panel. I would be open to spending a few dollars on the right setup if it means I can connect to the greater network. I’m IT savvy, but a radio noob.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
