60 years old but still goig on adventures and breaking records! Congratulations and Happy birthday!
:-))
Its 60 years young....
Looks like I have a few years on him. :-)
@@Roy_Tellason Same here, approx 14 to be exact... But at his age My best friend (from Middle School) and I hiked the Bristlecone Pines Trail, California White Mountains, at around 11,000ft to see a 4,000 year old Tree, but those days are now nothing more than a memory, and something to brag about I guess..This was a interesting Trek and he did get out for some beautiful countryside and set a record at the same time.
Wow, that was an impressive radio project, antenna tests, good video documentation, and detailed mapping software with the curvature of the earth.
Excellent video Andreas, great work on the range, and happy birthday!!! I will have to take a look at those mapping examples and test my locations. My units will be working in forest areas, so only needing 1-2km max range. I will let you know when I get my units into the field for testing.
Happy birthday! I have learned so much from your videos - thank you!
You are welcome!
Congratulations!!! Thanks so much for doing this, and sharing your experience!
Thanks!
Happy birthday, Andreas! And congratulations on the record! I really like and appreciate your videos. Thank you.

Thank you!
Happy birthday Andreas, and congrats in reaching your goals.
Thanks!
Happy Birthday and congratulations!
:-)
Good fun! A converted WIFI Grid antenna will double that range again. Rule of thumb is, 6dB = double the range. Show your experiment to the local Ham Radio club!
Actually, the link budget is so high with this technology that 6 db do not matter a lot (I did not believe it at first). So, the only thing which matters is line of sight. The link budget is good for more than 1000 km (without antenna gain, because this is legally not allowed on this free band).
BTW: I am also a (inactive) Ham.
I think there are more toys on the free bands than on the ham bands now - it is a very interesting time to play with any radio and electronics gear. The 6dB rule always applies - If you can find 6dB, you get double the range.
+Steve Wright In this experiment I had a connection from one place and no connection 100 m away from where I was. The difference between line of sight an no line of sight is easily 50 or more dB. You can simulate this using the link in the description. So, in theory you are of course right. But only, if all other parameters do not change. And this is not the case here because the earth is not flat ;-) And I was at the outmost possible point where the earth did not interfere with the waves.
Happy Birthday !!!
Thanks!
Happy Birthday and congratulations on the 2 records - hope you will entertain us for many years to come.
Thanks!
Comment for help.. Thank you for making these videos, Mr. Spiess :)
Happy Birthday and congratulations on the new world record!
Thanks for your support!
Fun to watch! I still have the time I was walking on hills with radio sets to do range tests in good memory. I recognized the area around wegelnburg because I live near there. Did you think about going a bit more north to extend the record? Kalmit or Ludwigsturm could be possible destinations.
Thank you for all your amazing contributions. Would you consider doing a side by side comparison of Lora vs Sigfox? Sigfox has my city covered, (San Francisco) and seems to offer a better alternative.
Again, very nice video Andreas, rich of details. Congratulations to your record and keep doing this nice videos!
Thank you for your feedback!
Sir, you're an inspiration! I'm happy and proud of you! Take care and be safe!
Thank you very much!
I like your antenna test! I spent some years doing radio propagation tests professionally. Don't underestimate the weather... We experienced small UHF radios working over 700km. We think it was caused by cold dry air from the stratosphere meeting warm humid air from the ground and making a perfect mirror or conduit. And it's normally longer than line of sight - check out the 4/3 rule. So good luck with a really long record. And Happy Birthday!
+Mike Hudson Thanks. I know this from 144MHz. Up to which frequency did you see this?
What is the 4/3 rule?
Andreas Spiess
Hi. I was surveying in the UHF band - around 400MHz. We did not think it was the normal temperature inversion as the effect was so extreme. On some days, it affected the microwave line-of-site transmissions which were using diversity antennas separated vertically by about 10m. You could detect the layer passing down through the beams.
The 4/3 rule increases line of sight due to the refraction caused by the atmosphere. You used to be able to get curved paper for plotting the hills between two antennae which allowed for this and showed if they would interfere.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-line-of-sight_propagation
Short wave has a club "The million miles per watt" club - for very serious long distance propagation using the stratosphere.
Propagation is fun and very challenging. Good luck and thanks for your very interesting videos.
Thanks for the link. I uses a few of the described things as a radio operator. But so far, I did not hear that the air inversions also work on 900 MHz. On 144, I was able to reach England from Switzerland, but with 50 W output and a Yagi. Somebody wrote, that he was able to reach Spain from Ireland on 868 MHz with a Sigfox device (25mW). This is more than 1000 km. I am not sure if I should believe it...
Andreas Spiess yes you can believe it. Duct propagation over sea is really huge. Sometimes the vhf bacon of cabo verde can be heard in spain. That's more than 2500 km i think.
Don't skip the ads, click voluntarily if needed. that way you can support him without losing your money. This is the most insightful lora video playlist on earth!
Thanks for your support!
Excellent job done, as always!
I wish you to live long in a good health, with peace in your heart, and inspiration in your mind.
Best regards!
Thank you for your wishes!
Dude, congratulations, both on your Birthday and the long range you achieved! Hopefully you had a nice weekend driving all that way
No problem. It was interesting and I enjoyed it.
awesome video. i am curious about who put the gateway on that tower. you should try and contact him and maybe an interview?
I think, it is the University of Applied Science of Berne
What about a putting a node on a weather balloon? That would be a fun video.
Here, we have lots of restrictions. So, this is definitively a task for our American or Canadian friens with their big open spaces...
We did test it with a small air balloon, reached 160km +

What modules and antennas did you use? I would love to repeat your experiment. Thanks.
Congratulations from Chicago!
Happy Birthday!
Thank you! It is now nearly 2 years since then. But the next birthday is around the corner ;-)
