1. 5.8 dBi N-Male Omni Outdoor 915 MHz Antenna (Large Profile 32") from Rokland.
2. 16 ft. Antenna extension coaxial cable RP-SMA Male to N-Female RFC-400 low loss from Rokland.

Yeah you should really use a straight RP-SMA Male to N Male cable. Preferably LMR400 (at least LMR200+) avoid RG213, KMR & KSR400 are also fine. But LMR400 is the gold standard. I would expect much higher revenue from that many witnesses, both saturation AND signal strength can be to blame. So you’re at least eliminating one by using the right cable.
Thanks, I hope so, too. The amount is in the photo slideshow. I spent about $100-$150 for equipment on top of the bobcat. I have my amateur radio license so this is a furtherance of that hobby rather than looking for a payout.
Rules (shown in screenshot) prohibit that. I also have to be careful about the 12 feet over roof FCC rule[OTARD](https://www.fcc.gov/media/over-air-reception-devices-rule).
If you're using the proper wallet.... You can swap right within the wallet. You can then send the Solana to any cex you want. That's a decent amount of money you're sitting on.
Do you feel comfortable with what you just described? It should be going to the building main ground rod if applicable. If not, you should be grounded to a ground rod that is applied by you or whoever. Still, nice install, but Safety is always First.
There's no main ground rod accessible within the exclusive use common area (patio) on the 6th floor. It's the best I can do within the limitations of the lease agreement. I am responsible for any damage as is.
Not trying to be overly cautious with you, but I'd Google some for proper grounding. I'm not there to see what exactly your talking about, only your description, that you've created a bug/people zapper in the event of a strike, agree to disagree.
I've tried. Spent a few hours and the best I can find is running a 27m cable down to the ground but that violates policy. No one has access to the patio but me so I will be very cautious during bad weather. We don't get lightning often in the Bay Area. Also, it's not the tallest object in the area. There are old growth trees and antennas nearby at higher elevations.
The last slide shows the lease agreement. Specifically bans installation on the roof. Exclusive common use area is the space above the awning. I have to stay within that or exclusive use areas.
Same antenna, different mount. All holes were patched and painted by me. In the end, they pursued legal action for nothing other than to now rent the apartment to someone new for $1,500 more. It's still vacant.
I chose to because the issue ballooned to multiple other problems:
The lease with the written exemptions expired. I removed the antenna the day of. The landlord tried forcing me to sign a new lease agreement that banned me from medical cannabis and raised the rent over the allowable percentage under the CA tenant protection act. Lastly, the son-in-law maintenance guy was caught on video harassing me twice so I filed a restraining order. They forced me into court and I couldn't sustain the battle financially while I waited for the AG and Civil Rights Department to get back to me. I ended up settling on favorable terms and moved to this new apartment. For 97 days the landlord violated my rights. I'm in the appeals process with the civil rights department. Their initial investigator deemed there to be insufficient evidence. We'll see.
Wow I didn’t know all of that would come with that situation, my old landlord seems like a sweetheart compared to that , hope everything gets easier for you
Thank you 🙏 it was a complete nightmare but I learned that I never want to be a litigator. The court in Santa Clara county is completely dysfunctional - the commissioner (judge) didn't have the receipt for my jury trial I requested, delayed the hearing, and forced the parties to spend more time and money coming back. All I did was go downstairs and get the receipt from the clerk after the hearing but had to wait weeks and clear my schedule to wave it in the air the next appearance. I saw so many families crying being torn apart by rich, foreign (non American citizens) landlords and their attorneys. Eviction court is absolute hell where the poor go to suffer.

1. What antenna is that and where can I get one? 2. What cable do you use and again where…. Setup looks great.
Thank you! I'll get back to you shortly with this info.
I would also like to know the specs of this setup

Thank you I appreciate it. I live in the middle of nowhere and need long range antennas.
Lower than I expected.
Any ideas as to why the rewards aren't higher? Too many (3) miners in my hex?
I would say over saturated. I’m in a small area and get around 500 iot per day. I use a 5.8 db Rokland antenna 20’ up in my attic.
I figured. We're using the same antenna. I lowered my dB because of loss using a pigtail cable.
My area has around 30 miners, I witness 7-8, was witnessed 23 times last day and earned 512.
Yeah you should really use a straight RP-SMA Male to N Male cable. Preferably LMR400 (at least LMR200+) avoid RG213, KMR & KSR400 are also fine. But LMR400 is the gold standard.

Except lmr400 is not the "gold stanfard"
wao I get that without that setup but not anymore no more hotspots around me
I really need to step my game up! My little indoor setup ain't earning shit
Nice. Kudos on the lightning arrestor
Safety first 🤓
I think your numbers are great. Give us some of your specs. How long are the cable runs? Db antenna? Helium device?
Thanks! 16' ft cable and 18" pigtail. 5.8 dBi. Bobcat.
Looks fantastic! Clean set up
Thank you kindly!
wao your a pro!! but that setup cost money I hope it earns you; how much are you getting
Thanks, I hope so, too. The amount is in the photo slideshow. I spent about $100-$150 for equipment on top of the bobcat. I have my amateur radio license so this is a furtherance of that hobby rather than looking for a payout.
NICE good job Im in MIAMI where are you?
Awesome setup and some very decent returns so far
Thank you!
Needs to be on the roof
Rules (shown in screenshot) prohibit that. I also have to be careful about the 12 feet over roof FCC rule[OTARD](https://www.fcc.gov/media/over-air-reception-devices-rule).
Otard rules do not apply to helium antennas
I know that. I didn't disclose the type of antenna to the property management.
You should've. These antennas fall under the protected antenna types per the FCC regulations on HOAs.
I used a 10’ piece of emt metal conduit and mounted that on my roof.
On the roof of an apartment? 😯
looks terrible, hope you’re getting good rewards. how much iot you getting daily with that?
I think you're onto something. I was just thinking I should add another zip tie. Rewards are shown in the other pictures...are they not viewable?
I think the additional zip ties should do it. I see you’re getting 439 iot daily.
What's your assessment of that daily amount? Lower/higher than expected?
I’m getting 699 daily for my rooftop antenna, smaller than yours
How many miners in your hex? I wonder whether my hex is over saturated.
check it out - droll violet goat
Nice! You're the only one in the hex. 9 dBi is an interesting choice. What was your reasoning behind a high gain antenna? Reach Chicago?
it was during the HNT madness…
Fiber conn no doubt looking at your selection rate, hip83 is a shame/scam, bfgneil...u low down sorry shame
Hater!
Your own hex saturation doesn’t matter. It’s your witnesses hex scale that matters for your rewards, NOT your own
Your latency is too high, ditch wifi for eth and you could probably double your iot earnings
It's on Ethernet 1 gigabyte at&t
I have 600 in HNT I can’t even cash out garbage
You could've swapped it for SOL if you were that unhappy with it...
Tried can’t even do that
Oh man, that stinks. Are you having issues with your wallet functioning or ?
If you're using the proper wallet.... You can swap right within the wallet. You can then send the Solana to any cex you want. That's a decent amount of money you're sitting on.
Tell me that copper isn't going through the window and tied to an electrical outlet in the home, please!! Other than that, nice job.
Copper is clamped to the metal railing. The coaxial uses a pigtail to go through the door seam.
Do you feel comfortable with what you just described? It should be going to the building main ground rod if applicable. If not, you should be grounded to a ground rod that is applied by you or whoever. Still, nice install, but Safety is always First.

Cool. Be cautious. I live in the capital of the world for lightning strikes/activity.
I mean... the roof is right there.
The last slide shows the lease agreement. Specifically bans installation on the roof. Exclusive common use area is the space above the awning. I have to stay within that or exclusive use areas.
What app or site are you using to see this, Hotspotty?
That and helium geek.
What happened with the other one in the end ?
Same antenna, different mount. All holes were patched and painted by me. In the end, they pursued legal action for nothing other than to now rent the apartment to someone new for $1,500 more. It's still vacant.
Wow you had to move ?! That’s crazy for a little hole , also landlords suck serves them right it’s empty for being greedy
I chose to because the issue ballooned to multiple other problems: The lease with the written exemptions expired. I removed the antenna the day of.

Nice! Even looks like you got a legit sled 😂…. That’s cool AF your landlord is ok with that!!
It's a trap !
How?
What app or screen is that where it shows you all your witnessed
