Anyone using off-grid comms like LoRa? (lemmy.world)

Finally re-spun up my Meshtastic LoRa project from last year using some new equipment, and the range is astounding. I'm located in CT, and I'm hitting nodes as far out as NH.

The range you're getting is impresive but totally makes sense - LoRa can theoretically reach 10+ km in rural areas with line of sight, and even farther with elevation and the right atmospheric conditons (I've seen 30km+ in some cases when nodes are on hills/mountains).
