Public channels

A few open hashtag channels, mostly so you can find out whether your node actually works.

#ping

Send ping and the bot replies to the channel for the next thirty minutes. The fastest way to find out whether you are being heard, and from where.

#parrot

Echoes your message back with a twist. Good for a mic check with an almost guaranteed answer. Warning: induces an urge to work out palindromes.

#telemetry

Some repeaters post weather readings every two hours. Useful for checking a repeater is alive, and for knowing what the weather is doing across Pirkanmaa.

If nothing answers

The bots miss messages sometimes. Try again before concluding your node is broken — and remember that a Client node with no repeater in range will hear nothing at all.
