    Sorry for late reply, been touch-grass

    I got my amateur radio license recently and I just started thinking about this

    I don't really know very much at this point tbh but I would also be down to help with your project if you would like

    Idk if I could even find enough people in my city who would want to do something like this with me either... although I am willing to run/help people run network nodes based on things other than 802.11 which could help a lot with range (point-to-point radio links, maybe over microwave, more conventional packet radio on the amateur radio bands, LoRa, etc)

    I have some friends willing to run nearby 802.11 nodes.... not enough though

    Probably would have to start out with a much more mixed network architecture.... maybe point-to-point radio links between the people in my city initially interested in running nodes, packet radio on the local ham bands, LoRa or something, etc...

    Idk if enough people would be interested but I'll have to ask around when I'm back home

    Sorry for late reply, been touch-grass a bit

    Why can't you? There's lots of other options available too btw: WiFi routers with modified firmware, old-style packet radio on the amateur radio bands (a lot more range possible with this), other protocols like LoRa on the unlicensed bands....
