This is a video on my second channel.

LoRa devices have a long range and are small and cheap. Ideal for experimenting and maybe even more. Today we will build devices that create mesh networks on 70cm and, through a gateway and the internet or Hamnet, can transfer messages to meshes far away. Or to APRS. Or to e-mail. Ideal for clubs or emergencies!

Herr Spiess, can you recommend a good starter LoRA project for a licensed amateur (Ham)? I have some basic LoRA boards but don't mind buying another module.

Depending on your interest you can choose from the currently available projects: - LoRaWAN sensor node. This project works on 868/915 ISM band and is a typical entry point. Needs a gateway (either existing in your area or you have to purchase one). You find plenty of projects in this field on the internet. Usually, you do the programming of your sensor board using the Arduino IDE. - LoRa APRS: Here, you have to build a tracker and an iGate. Probably more interesting for a club. No programming skills are needed. - Meshtastic/Meshcom: Also here, it is probably more interesting if you have friends joining the project. Similar to LoRa APRS: No programming skills are needed. TinyGS: Tracking for small satellites. Also here, no programming skills needed. All projects need skills in how to program MCUs. So they are not projects I recommend for beginners in this field unless you have an experienced friend for support. I hope this helps.

Thanks very much. I would not call myself an expert, but I have a fair bit of experience programming MCUs with a combination of my own code + "cut and paste" from examples, and a drawer-full of various Arduinos, ESP8266s, and ESP32s lying around.I may try the satellite project first.
