The [[ENG-CANSAT-PICO-RFM69HCW-TEST|RFM69HCW Testing]] shows how to transmit data back and forward between 2 radio modules.

This looks simple with the quarter wave antenna, however such general purpose antenna is not tailored for long distance communication.

Wrong antennas design may ruin the communication below 1 meter. Great antenna design with attention to details will allow the RFM69 module to transmit data from 1 to 2 Km.

What ever you do, the antenna is always one of the most sensitive component when working in the radio area.
The following schema shows how to wire the RFM69HCW to transmit data.

Remove the wire and the data would not transmit at 1 meter of distance, even on the same desk!
