I got mine recently in a dxent aized city and while there are plenty of nodes popping up on the map, the local channel is pretty quiet. Is that normal?

    Yep, that can be normal. For my city, the local group has a private (but free to join) channel that's a bit more active.

    Do a web search for meshtastic and your city and see if one pops up.

    I don't know. It's the same for me but I got a pretty bad reception. The only time I saw some messages was when someone was sending some from a plane, so I guess it was a special occasion.
