i will be going up the hill again once the weather improves. trying to get my home node back in service with the antenna in a higher spot at home. hopefully i wont be off air for long, work in progress. 👍
Hi Paul, got you on LongFast, and tried to ack you. What's that coax? Looks a bit on the long side for LoRa strength signals. Good effort getting out mobile and doing the testing.
coax is mini 8 Andy, I have now got a shorter sma ended cable for the next effort on the hill, as you know the radio hobby is a constant learng curve. I said in the description of the channel that it would be a warts and all production of the videos, so I'm learning as I go, sharing the good and the not so good bits..I still have loads to learn and I hope by doing the videos it encourages people to get involved in the hobby (any hobby) that gives them pleasure and keeps the mind and the body active.. hope for a catch up with you soon on air or otherwise 👍
@@RADIO_DAZE Shack's in bits right now and full of gear from all my other pastimes. Band is back at Dukeries in November but hopefully will get some time to chat F2F before then. ATB Paul your channel is dong great things.
We have a Wales village about 6 miles away, Wales Bar, which is not too far from the A57 is the next village, you could walk through both and not know the boundary for the villages.
Hi Paul I am surprised you haven’t spotted my node from up there? M3SNU-Base (3SNU), M3SNU Mobile. I’m sure I’ve seen your node.

Try and connect device directly to antenna to prevent losses, then use long run USB cable. M0OLI
Yeah that clear box on the top of the monument with an antenna attached directly to the Heltec would have worked better most likely.
