As there are more nodes, there will be more locations in which Shortfast has people broadcasting. During band openings, you might even start seeing people over RF instead of over MQTT.

True. Honestly most of the issues in my area are LOS. We have maybe a dozen nodes on LongFast in my town but no stable connections. Working on getting my own node up higher, but we'll see.

We dont have many here, but shortfast is like 10x faster than LongFast and can handle many more connections.
