@yakmoose@cloudisland.nz @rmi@cloudisland.nz I've come to the conclusion that lora cares amazingly little about antenna quality and you can get away with some very rudimentary stuff.
I'm about to send off a job for 250 lora based trap monitors to the fab using a dead simple PCB trace antenna that's proven on par with a bunch of external quarter wave, ground planes and some others...
Black magic, to me anyway
