And all of these range examples are completely irrelevant to the distances you'll achieve using lora in practice. But while we're on the subject there's been lora from/to geosynchronous orbit. So I think that's the distance record: https://hackaday.com/2018/02/22/at-71572-km-you-wont-beat-th...
At VHF and up the only thing that really matters is line of sight. Everything else modulation wise is just frosting. Unless you're in a plane/balloon/etc or paying for power and location on a very tall building Lora isn't going to go any further than your 2.4 GHz wifi router.
These contrived setups for distant records (and using transient tropo ducting) are just for fun.
