Public channel

Treat It As Public

MeshCore hashtag channels are topic-based channels derived from their channel name. Treat #radioxford as public rather than private.

Do not send:

  • passwords
  • personal confidential information
  • medical information
  • private addresses
  • anything you would not want other participants to read

Join #radioxford

Add the hashtag channel #radioxford using your MeshCore companion application. If the app interface changes, follow the current official MeshCore guide rather than guessing from old screenshots.

Suggested Channel Etiquette

Keep the channel useful, friendly and easy for newcomers to understand.

Be clear

Label tests as tests, avoid unnecessary repeated transmissions and share useful coverage observations.

Be kind

Be friendly, remember it is public and help people who are new to the mesh.
