Here is a great LoRa APRS project that uses T-Beams. The iGate can even interface with KISS applications.

Yes! Greetings from the UK and thanks for extracting the podcast text Steve.

This is something I have been banging on about in my online places. The more of us licensed Hams that can get involved in building these bridges, the more of a chance we can sustain this hobby and maintain the bands going forwards.

Yesterday I was parked on a hill overlooking my QTH below with an 868 antenna on a window mount and after months of playing with these nodes had my first stable message chat with a small group of people. Both licences and unlicensed. I really felt things were coming along.

Right next to my parked car was a security light with a solar panel on and I couldn't help but wonder whether the owner would let me add a little node. It would serve hundreds of houses and link two valleys. ;-)

Anyone with property on high ground will not only be lauded by the community. They shall become gods ;-)

Cheers for a great post.
