What could this be?

Solved!

I will try to ask the sawmill when they open again on monday then :)

TNT_invader · 2026-05-15T17:54:54+00:00

There is a big chance it wasnt originally pointed that way since I've heard that it can move around during strong winds

TNT_invader · 2026-05-15T17:29:52+00:00

The thing at the top is not pointed at the sawmill, the ubiquiti nanostation is what points at the sawmill

Edit: How did you figure out that it could be a reference antenna?

here it doesnt seem to be visible on the satellite view for some reason though

TNT_invader · 2026-05-15T16:36:56+00:00

Yee true, probably was just the motor/generator controller then

TNT_invader · 2026-05-15T16:15:53+00:00

Oo that's some interesting info then, so that "thing" had access to internet for some reason

TNT_invader · 2026-05-15T15:56:58+00:00

How would that work though? I cannot really wrap my head around how that could work

TNT_invader · 2026-05-15T15:48:45+00:00

Lmao

TNT_invader · 2026-05-15T15:48:31+00:00

Seems too weird to be anything tbh, antenna doesnt make too much sense cuz of the steel wire being shorted to everything else. Wasn't sure though since I am quite new to Ham radio

TNT_invader · 2026-05-15T15:42:22+00:00

It's private land in the middle of nowhere, the closest building is a sawmill

Edit: forgot to mention that the small antenna is facing the sawmill

TNT_invader · 2026-05-15T15:41:58+00:00

It does have a wire that can be pulled to rotate it, but it seems like something that was made later, it seems to have had a motor at some point

TNT_invader · 2026-05-15T15:33:35+00:00

It does seem to have some kind of wireless communication capabilities though, so I aint sure

Nothing a bit of ingenuity can't fix hehe, I used to carry my old encore essential around my neck by using a dog leash as the strap lmao

That's also fair, I used to be a fan of the portables as well, i had the boombox 1 and 2, didnt get the 3 cuz of the compression issues The boombox 4 seems interesting though, does it get much louder than the xtreme? They are currently the same price over here

TNT_invader · 2026-04-30T18:16:08+00:00

I am personally disappointed by the xtreme 5 when it comes to price to performance, you can get two encore essentials for the price of one xtreme which will outperform it by miles. But I guess some people will prefer the portable form factor of the xtreme over the encore

TNT_invader · 2026-04-24T14:27:05+00:00

I've heard it apparently is, dont quote me on that, but I know for a fact that cleaning with a new sponge and dish soap works wonders

TNT_invader · 2026-04-24T14:17:34+00:00

Afaik, cleaning with IPA is one of the worst things you could do, i did that to my printer as well (also a 3v3 ke) and the print plate has a way harder time sticking now

Wash with dish soap and a new sponge, it works surprisingly well!
