It’ll probably work. I’d definitely setup a mesh if I lived on a farm. I put up a node on my balcony,
9th floor suburban environment, and people seem to be using it. I got some direct connections from 15km away. There’s also a guy 60km away across lake Ontario that’s connecting to my balcony node, but I’m sure he’s got a special antenna, likely directional.

That is really cool. Does it just tell you how far away a connection is from?
Only if the node published their location and if it’s correct. Many people publish approximate locations.
I was wondering about this. Is there a way to set location as general area vs precise? I saw somewhere it can be disabled too I believe.
Yes. You can set a radius and you can also set the lon/lat to whatever you want.
