Congrats on being the first to get something going in Swansea,
there had been musings on the subject for quite a while but nothing
came of it.

No sign of your gateway on ttnmapper.org yet, would be nice to see how
far away it can be heard. if you have a battery powered device that can
talk to it, send someone out with it and the mobile phone app and get
some map points added :)

I'm still waiting on delivery of some LoRa radios for the 868MHz band,
once i've got them up and running I will run a workshop on how to build
simple lorawan enabled devices for anyone thats interested, should
hopefully be a suitable followup to the wifi-IoT one i ran last month.
