The “red so239 ground spike telecopic whip antenna” kit from AliExpress has arrived - an article on the parts is at https://brokensignal.tv/pages/20-meter-vertical-whip-antenna-under-25.html - lunchtime shenanigans, methinks.

@M0CUV dumb non-HAM question: how useful would this be for setting up a temporary LoRa #meshtastic or #meshcore repeater, given they run on 868MHz in the UK?
If the hardware isn’t immediately suitable can it be modded, or is similar hardware (at a similar price point) available that *will* work in that frequency range?
I ask as I’m pondering use of mesh[core|tastic] for comms while at a music festival with very poor mobile signal. Sticking one of these up at the campsite may boost coverage.

@WiteWulf @M0CUV I know a number of folks who have been bringing meshcore nodes to music festivals in the US and been able to successfully use it to communicate with friends nearby while outside of cell service areas. There's even a couple nightclubs in Seattle that are starting to stick repeaters up!
