I have to question the use of LoRa on amateur satellite bands. LoRa is a closed, patented, proprietary mode. SDR implementations of it (if they work...) are legally dubious, leaving us to have to use Semtech hardware to receive. Why are we allowing this? I thought amateur radio was meant to be open and free for all to experiment, modify, and learn?
As for TinyGS, they openly support satellites which were *denied* coordination by the IARU, and still use the amateur radio bands anyway. At least SatNOGS makes it quite clear on the satellite page that the sats in question are band intruders, and that we are only monitoring them for space situational awareness purposes...

Hi All,
Is anyone running Tiny GS ground stations? What hardware & gateways are you using?
Also interested if any used LoRa in weather balloon, again what type of hardware used?
Cheers
