In a momentary break from the rules for a distance test (mostly dangerous to my own Spark as 75% of my flight was over water), and also in a very controlled area, I went 7,705 with the range extenders on. When you deliberately break the rules and good common sense, you must be willing to accept the consequences. I normally follow all the rules including tower notifications, but occasionally fly past VLOS. As a UAV pilot, I make decisions when to fly in iffy conditions, such as wind, interference, over water, etc and accept those consequences as well. If something goes wrong, and eventually something will, by following the rules and flying in AAA conditions and environments, you can minimize misfortunes as much as possible.
In your flight here for example, although you flew outside of VLOS, if there was any place to do such a thing, this looks like a good place for that!
Cheers...
