The baseline operational grid has formally expanded to encompass Oconee, Pickens, and Anderson Counties, South Carolina. The combined Foothills Theater now commands 7,891 active Res-8 sectors with continuous multi-path connectivity across the Clemson, Seneca, Easley, and Anderson corridors.
Territory expansion proposals enforce triangular conical infill. Proposals extending from active green frontiers to red target nodes add multi-path yellow bridge sectors to prevent fragile 1-hex daisy chains and ensure resilient sub-GHz mesh topology.
Field tests confirm 915 MHz handheld nodes (0.5W) achieve 1.2 to 2.4 km line-of-sight in Foothills terrain (matching Uber H3 Res-8 cell resolution ~0.92 km diameter). High-elevation repeaters on ridge points provide wide-area gateway quorum verification.
