A guy in the Ventura club went up in the hills near Conejo Grade for a SOTA activation and saw the item below. I wasn't there a month ago. Anyone recognize what it could be? Dave AI6VX [image: image.png]

If it is near an airport, it could be a noise monitor. There are several boxes in Goleta to monitor airport noise that are on top of light poles.

Since the monopole radiation pattern is donut shaped, wouldn't it be very weak in the direction the antenna is pointing?

Thanks everyone for your replies. That Meshtastic node could be it. There's one for sale on Ebay that looks similar. Another choice would be some kind of tracker/repeater for wildlife(?).
The "USMT" spray painted on it is interesting but I can't find anything online when I look at up.

Thanks Jay! I'm convinced it is a meshtastic node, and now I want to build a few and give Meshtastic a try. Someone created this map of the nodes for the US. https://meshmap.net/
I'm going to ask the SOTA guy exactly where the node was that he found.
BTW Jay, your name is familiar. I want to say it was from rain.org days. Were you with rain back in the day?
