That assumes your gateway would forward all LoRa traffic that’s around. Given [sync words](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/should-private-lorawan-networks-use-a-different-sync-word/34496) and [IQ inversion](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/search?q=IQ%20inversion) (and maybe even CRC) that might not be the case. Also, that does not take into account the transmission reach of your nodes?

An [RTL-SDR dongle](https://www.rtl-sdr.com/about-rtl-sdr/) will tell you more, and is fun to play with. 🙂
