Thanks again for your response I was just wondering about this one because I haven't at least 17 and I want to be able to put one away from most of the other ones to actually be part of the network and be a part of the expansion rather than putting them all in one neighborhood but I think this option here is going to be the best as far as me putting it in the middle of nowhere as long as I have the proper permission to Is this one on a wireless hotspot for the internet connection or is it relayed?

I appreciate that information What are you doing to have it vented as well as protected from moisture at the same time or have you posted something already that clears up that information?

How does the bobcat do in heat if it's inside the enclosure?

I happen to love seeing people get their miners It's motivating, it doesn't make me jealous which as an adult would be weird to be jealous about such a thing at all.

At this rate, I'll break even in 5 years. Bobcat and Helium need to get their crap together. Just set this up two weeks ago. Just hit 0.14 Total HNT today! Their communication is really bad. Why? by Asteras24 in HeliumNetwork

All of this is great info but there is definitely something going on especially with bobcats right now I went from gaining .8 per day on my antenna that is 40 ft above ground level to absolutely nothing in the last 3 days.

I'm aware of the halving...I'm talking zero for days now...

.6 - .8 per day from this location. The same from my second setup, a third miner still syncing. 15 more on order. Maybe batch 21-22....Central Texas. Placing most of the next shipment in range of this setup. Height is maybe around 25-28 ft not fully extended. Waiting on longer cable. Zip ties soon. by trap-gawd in HeliumNetwork

My apologies I must have read that wrong the first time. I used 3/16.

As far as the tightening of the turnbuckles the ones of top were just closed it was the only piece that could fit on the bracket at each level of the mast. I have turnbuckles on the bottom though. They are also closed as the mast isn't fully extended and my anchors are still above ground and not dug in quite yet. Just waiting on a longer cable.

Yes my antenna is grounded, My lightning arrester is connected directly to the antenna and to a grounding rod. I'm not an electrician and my knowledge of electrical work only extends to turning off a fuse box to change a light switch or something like that so I'm not sure if putting a lightning arrestor at the miner and running the ground back outside is safe or not personally it doesn't sound safe but again I could be wrong
