Hello again, so far my mesh has been great as a neighborhood range gimmic (no harm, just bummed there aren't more adopters locally), but I'm hoping to go further. Turns out a neighboring town has a more extensive mesh than my own. Aside from convincing a bunch of people in between to set up meshtastic, could I go and set up a yagi and point it towards a known node for example? I am atop a hill and likey have LOS, but even if I get a signal, how should this be repeated if not by another node close to the yagi? Or rethink this entirely? Thank you all in advance

The higher it is the best. Its even better than a better antenna.

Meshtastic is on very low wattage so many hard surfaces stop the signal.
