First of all, Kenny: welcome! Now that you have a HamWAN
connection, I hope you are no longer mad at me. Where is your
antenna (inside/outside, height above ground, etc)?
On a related but more serious side, do you have a direct
line-of-sight path to Capitol Hill, or do you go through trees? The
reason I ask is, my path goes through some trees. When it is windy,
that causes my RX signal level (dBm value) to vary about 5 dB
(mostly down). I have wondered whether mounting my antenna higher
would help my overall value (of course it would help when it is
windy).
My average RX signal level is 80 dBm (no winds), and yours appears
to be 83 dBm. However, you are twice as far from your cell site as
I am from mine, and since power falls off as the square of the
distance, I'd expect (in similar configurations and siting) that you
would experience a 6 dB difference. Since the difference is only 3
dB, that suggests that (all things being equal, which they never
are) I might gain at most 3 dB by moving the antenna.
