Re: Jumping signal

Yes I have the 1900 mhz yagi, and I dont have line of sight, I live on a mountain lots of trees and there are alot of towers near me looking out my front door on the mountain but they over spray my house, I have my yagi outside back of the house. I was told by sprint that there are 2 towers near me, 1 being right about 3 to 4 miles other is about 6 miles out one being south east other south west, Just so frustrating the way one week I'm getting 1.5 download then next week I fight all week to get 400kb moving my yagi to new spots over and over, Just dont make sense why its so good then the wind blows and poof there goes that great signal you had for a week, Would it help to lower my yagi down from house is it possible IM to high to keep the signal?

 if you don't have line of site you should try an omni directional antenna mounted at a decent height . You might see more consistent results.
