Now about a year later, how's the LoRa system working out?

I have a friend just west of the Huntsville area working with LoRa tech.
Currently there is a lot of interference at the 915.125 freq.  He moved to
921.125 but there is still sporatic interference.  He thinks it's the Bizbee
tech on the home meters that could be an issue.

He's just trying to communicate with a companion unit about 750m away. But,
there is plenty of forest growth inbetween.  Communications was pretty good
when he first set it up a couple months ago. Now, he's getting more and more
interference.
