    I know I'm a bit late to this conversation, but give MeshCom a look as well. https://icssw.org/en/meshcom/
    It may not have all the same features as Meshtastic, but it's the same sort of idea and is designed with ham radio in mind.
    I've also been playing around with Reticulum - https://reticulum.network/ which is PHY agnostic (can be done over old packet!) and is a bit more fleshed out than the other two.

    There's also broadband-hamnet.org which I may have been confusing with Meshtastic at first :D.

    I had that suspicion but did not voice it.

    I got the impression (from comments I read somewhere) that BBHN was defunct. Is it still operating? Looks like there hasn't been any news on their website for 8 years, though that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

    IIRC, BBHN was unofficially replaced with AREDN. There was/is a post somewhere that said something along the lines of 'the BBHN developers have moved to AREDN'.

    BBHN from what I can tell is old and is probably defunct. The BBHN firmware is only targeting the older WRT routers, whereas AREDN has support for more devices that are newer. Haven't really looked into it a whole lot myself, since the area I'm in has little to no desire or usage for WiFi. Meh, maybe I'll put up an antenna and see what happens.
