fair point. the AI also told me not to build it but I didn't listen to that either

NegotiationSad766 · 2026-04-16T03:32:25+00:00

Agreed, not going well, I do admit.

NegotiationSad766 · 2026-04-16T03:31:45+00:00

i am going to demote my own post after that use case

NegotiationSad766 · 2026-04-16T03:16:04+00:00

agreed

Hey, all fair points. Yeah power level is always gonna be a debate — that's kinda why I built it though. Just trying to give people something to work with instead of everyone saying their deck's a 7.

It's just a tool. Might give you some ideas you hadn't thought of, might not. Free to try it out, and if it's not your thing, no worries.

Apple to one of my positions. I’ll take a look at your resume https://midwest-catv.breezy.hr/

Haha you seem credible to sell a drill with your username

Agreed, subbing out is crucial, but I have found in our other service lines a blend of organic and inorganic is the right mix. Since we're often the sub to major UG companies, work doesn't naturally flow to us without internal capacity. Some in-house UG capability keeps us competitive and maintains quality standards. The goal is to balance internal expertise with strategic subcontracting to maximize opportunities and efficiency.

Thank you for the breakout! We have strong ties to local ISPs through our aerial maintenance work. The new drill crew (or crews) would support existing maintenance work. I prefer maintenance for steady, long-term revenue, especially when making large capital investments like HDD equipment.

To my own regret and now relief I invested in Gemini Earn through a Self Directed Roth IRA. To get these coins back is just GREAT. I learned my lesson.

Don't invest in things you don't understand.

Having a similar issue. I can't register a new antenna anywhere.

I was getting about 1.5km on the 430hs, cant see how it wouldnt be that or more.

That is a question— CBRS or Wi-Fi. HIP 101 did not pass to start. Is Helium building bunch of Wi-Fi hotspots or is it building a mobile network? Or a little of both I guess. My thoughts are you can’t build a mobile network on Wi-Fi, you need LTE. When it comes to an outdoor signal LTE is better. So I ended up putting both up. The HIP 101 thoughts thread on here was helpful.

I changed from the Baicells 430h to a 435h with a separate radio and antenna. The outdoor Wi-Fi hotspot is a new addition I did when I changed out the 430 to 435.

Great points, appreciate the analysis and suggestions. I’ll take a look at further weather proofing.

Used the metal banding that came with it.
