Howdy,

 KM> LoRa itself refers to the equipment and modulation and can be used 
directly for peer to peer links in a manner very analogous to the
 KM> acoustic modems of the past, or TNCs in the Ham Packet sphere.

 KM> While I can see some potential use cases for LoRaWan implementations to be 
used in the hobby:

 KM> 1) Providing peer to peer access to local services NOT just
 KM> available on the internet is more likely to attract the tinker/electronic 
hobbyist crowd. IMHO at least.

I've been trying to read up on alternative (to the internet) methods of 
connecting BBSes together - and was wondering if LoRa could be used. Everything 
I've been reading hints at IOT devices, which I am assuming means low (status 
like) traffic.

Could LoRa be used to transmit mail packets between peers?

I think the range can be around 20klm - can it?

I know nothing about this technology, so I'm curious...

.... Don't hit me, Mr. Moderator! I'll go back on topic, I swear!
