A little wisdom is on its way. The first confirmed morning broadcast will appear here.

Poobah Says
good morning
The third eligible greeting of the morning triggers one daily quotation for the whole Public channel.
Public only · one quotation per day
Also recognised: testing, test 123, testing 123, testing testing and test test. Test replies have a two-minute channel cooldown and a ten-minute sender cooldown. Poobah doesn't respond to arbitrary sentences containing those words.

Planned commands. We'll list them as active once they're actually running.
WHAT'S ALL THIS, THEN?
Radio without the mobile network.
MeshCore uses small LoRa radios to pass messages across a network of nearby nodes and repeaters. Poobah's Mesh operates a computer-connected companion radio in Newbury, offering public reception tests and the occasional bit of morning wisdom.
Signal reports describe what Poobah actually received. A hop path contains short relay identifiers; the SNR and RSSI refer to the last radio link into our receiver, not every relay along the way.
A word on privacy: this site publishes aggregate reception statistics and selected technical metadata, not the text of other people's conversations or precise personal locations. A successful transmit acknowledgement isn't proof that the other person received the reply.
