I'm back in Bellevue, WA after a 60 hour Amtrak ride DEN -> SCA -> SEA
I left an LoRa APRS iGate and Meshtastic node in Lakewood, CO No worries about the WA4OSH-20 SSID, it's on APRS-IS network.

100% AX.25 Packet radio was invented in 1978's after I got my HAM license 50 years ago.It was a point-to point network with digipeaters in the middle. The first TNCs were designed by #TAPR in 1983.
Bob Bruninga took AX.25 packet and confined it to mostly a weather station and GPS tracker protocol (on the left).
#LoRaAPRS was the initial work of Peter Buchegger OE5BPA, Bernd Gasser OE1ACM, Christoph Gasser OE1CGC and Christian Johan Bauer OE3CJB. That's the vision on the right.

@rocking_horse #Reticulum seems to be non-ham radio protocol. It's purpose is to send traffic over all sorts of different PHY layers. It's distributed and encrypted. There are more #preppers than there are HAMs
#LoRaWAN is an unlicensed IT protocol maintained by the LoRa Alliance. Not #HAM radio
#LoRaAPRS originated in Austria. I helped translate German documentation into English and Spanish to bring it to ITU region 2. It's more wide-spread in Spanish speaking countries than the US.

Found out the hard way today that those #lilygo devices like T-Beam have wifi, but not on 5GHz
Good news is that 1 station received my beacons from work qth ground floor, small aerial for #70cm that came with the device.
Wonder what freq on 2 and 23 and 13 cm we can use for #lora and #loraaprs
Today for the first time my igate got on to the general aprs.fi map!

Going to have to do a lot more testing, so this seems to work sitting on the desk, but doesn't work when I'm out.
But I had problems with LoRa 433 around here before. So today I tried a couple of different antenna, still not working.
SO I think all I can do is get an external antenna for both of these devices and see what happens.Maybe I need an amplifier?
