I was just checking my TTN mapper traces and noticed I got a packet out via David's gateway from just over 21km away using a tiny [Adafruit LoRa feather from Nicegear](https://nicegear.nz/product/adafruit-feather-m0-with-rfm95-lora-radio-900mhz) and a quarter wave omni. This might not be a surprise to some of you with more RF exeprience than me but I was pretty impressed. It was also good to finally confirm that our frequency plans are in sync.
