This is actually the intended usecase of LoRa. Imagine you're a farmer or other similar industry with a large plot of land. You want to monitor moisture level of the soil or water level in a storage tank or something similarly simple. You can do this over long distances without any sort of cellular or other connectivity.

This is a neat use case I hadn’t considered, and now one more thing to add to my ever-growing list of neat tech things I want to do.

I had spoken with several people that work ranches about the potential for LoRa, and am glad to see the fruit ripen after having this time.

This is rather cool and I am sure it wouldn't be hard to convince some marina offices or sailing clubs to run a land based repeater.

Yup, I think if you get some regatta people interested, it'll just happen.

This would be a wonderful system to see implemented more with time.
