I had a bit of success today. We had a bit of snow nearby the last couple of days and today was mint so took the two year old to the snow for the first time.
It was an unplanned outing so I quickly slapped a TBeam into a box with a Moxon out the side, climbed up onto the roof and taped it to my TV antenna pole, about 7m up overall.
Headed for the mountain and initially had no luck as in the direction I assumed my house was, there was a hill in the way. Before heading home we drove a little higher for a more direct line of sight and I couldn’t believe it, we had connection at 97.9Km, 0% signal!
I should have done my research on the Moxon as I assumed the radiation pattern aligned with the plane of the PCB. Looking into it when I got home I should have sighted along the short edge of the antenna in the desired direction. So better results could be expected. I did replace the roving modules Moxon with an LPRS ANT-WP915SMA-Y but I couldn’t get a connection. Says a lot for those Moxons.
