I have found nodes in wild across Dallas Texas USA. I actually discovered one less than 3 miles from my house but cant reach them yet because my antennas havent arrived yet and there is not a perfect line of sight.
I got a couple little antennas on the way from digikey for my mobile radios. And I got a big one to mount on my roof for my home node.
These are what I've got coming in that I'll be testing:
1x Meshtastic™ compatible 5.8 dBi N-Male Omni Outdoor 915 MHz Antenna kit with 25 foot SMA male to N-female (400 grade) for $69.97 each
1x ALFA AOA-915-5ACM 5 dbi Omni Outdoor 915MHz 802.11ah Mini LoRa Antenna for the People's Network for $16.97 each

Just got up and running myself and found three nodes so far!
My antenna sucks though so I can't actually message them...yet :-P
