    Excellent video Andreas, great work on the range, and happy birthday!!! I will have to take a look at those mapping examples and test my locations. My units will be working in forest areas, so only needing 1-2km max range. I will let you know when I get my units into the field for testing.

    Amazing result Andreas! Congratulations on your record and your age milestone. You have single handedly steered me towards LoRa and IoT as a next phase in my self education and I am researching daily. Really looking forward to getting some projects moving so thanks again for a very well presented story. Garry
