    Shame we cant get something going - I'm guessing you are about 25klms
    from me - I have no idea what would work (its a new field for me)
    - and even the range of lora is about 20klms I've read. I guess
    some sort of 802.11 rig should work (and be possible without
    licenses, etc)?

    Well if I remember right, you shouldn't need a license under 25db signal strength? I forget.. LOS is critical though, if you can't see it, it definitely won't get far. Also if you manage to get a link up you'll lose it every time it rains, as a surface that is wet will attenuate 2.4Ghz signals.

    I still have some of the antenna's here... a ~15db Yagi, and some decent size Omni. Still a PCI card or two with the external antenna jack but I don't think I've got anything left to put them into.

    I've got some ex Galaxy gridpacks and flat panel antennas for 2.4
    GHz.

    We're all dressed up and ready, with no place to go. :P
