Personally I find it very satisfying to get long near-line-of-site performance in VHF and up. That could be reaching a repeater 100+ miles away on two meters with a handheld and a tape measure yagi
or talking to somebody with a bigger station 300+ miles away because of a tropospheric duct or just getting into the WiFi at the hospital from the other side of the lake.
While the local Czech MeshCore network is heavily supported by a couple repeaters on higher hills and mountains to connect the meshes around metropolitan centers, ideally it should be much more distributed and less dependent on such a few important nodes.
Basically a lot more repeaters & more hops to reach longer distances.
This also helps with scaling as more messages can be routed local only via MeshCore region support scoping, effectively using the available bandwidth on many places for different purposes at the same time.
