Antenna changes give odd results

Have been testing the changes made this week for a while now.
I substituted in-line amps and added a reflective orb at the top of my mast.
The results on statistics were not at all what I was expecting to see. :open_mouth:
Here is a pic of some of the hardware I am using:

and here are the results I am seeing:

Happy April 1 :laughing:

Hi Katlitter - Excellent 8) 8) :laughing:

You seem to be receiving ghost reflection signals, I think this may be due to the multi-facet orb being slightly over dilated in the in the temporal domain causing double bubble parity errors in the dongle decoder.

Try running with --waka, that should close up that poor coverage to the east. You may need to specify it twice.

I struggled with antenna designs until I realized the solution was right under my nose! All I had to do was borrow my catā€™s tinfoil antenna hat and all my reception issues vanished! :smiley:

Did you twist the antenna stems with the cats ears in them, or did you thread them in later?

Iā€™m proud to consider myself a member of this groupā€¦

Bob,
I got the Idea from your lava lamp a while ago. You are such an inspiration!

Cheers!

Off to get my foil skull kapā€¦

Great one
pac man or pi man ?

Jepolch, just wondering. From the look on the catā€™s face, did you wake up this am? :slight_smile: Sorry I was offline yesterday

Iā€™ve heard of the CanTennaā€¦ but never this CATtenna.

LOL! :laughing:

Sorry to say, thatā€™s not my cat. I googled ā€œtinfoil hatā€ and saw that picture and decided it was a good addition to this thread about oddball antennas. :laughing:

This, however, is really my dog. Sheā€™s a pathetic little thing, but weā€™re stuck with each other. She literally cries tears when I donā€™t give her a piece of what Iā€™m eating. How sad is that? :laughing:

As Charlieā€™s T-shirt in my avatar reads- itā€™s a ruff life.

I think her mohican needs tidying, and a bit of blackberry dye to touch it up (comes out purple)

Actually, her Mohawk was tame in that picture. Hereā€™s what it looks like it when itā€™s out of control. I have considered dyeing it, but never have. :slight_smile:

Sorry Jepolch,
The ORB OF POWER reflector that I installed on the top of my mast has allowed my setup to pass you on the statistics page. Up to 168 as of this morning.

Cheers!

Congratulations! I actually have no idea where I stand on that page, but more power to you and have fun! :smiley:

FYI,
Have dog gone good day!

My dog from the shelter.

Cheers!

Its neat to see a happy pet that was given a second chance. Too many are not that fortunate.

Looks like this threadā€™s going to the dogs. I find that usually improves things. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
