a comment on this video now guess what everyone after trying and failing and potentially being
scammed we did a thing so here we are sorry for the shaky i'm up in my attic we are replacing this
quote unquote 10 dbi antenna with the rack 5.8 dbi antenna so let's see how it goes all right as you
can see we are installed let's get some helium yes that is correct you did see that rack
antenna being held up to the attic support with zip ties reason being is that i inevitably
feel that we are going to be posting that up on our roof outside probably within 30 days
hopefully not i really like the fact that it's up in the attic it's easy to access but everyone's
saying post it outside post it outside post it outside and i've seen youtube videos that had
successful results in the attic versus on top of the roof hopefully we're one of those guys
if not i'm actually a little bit more inclined to be okay with posting everything out on the roof
and putting the miner out in the attic uh because bobcat will be releasing a new dashboard that's
currently in beta and we can actually access our miners without needing to go to the physical
unit so i'm i'm more comfortable doing that because i one thing i was always worried about was
putting the bobcat antenna in the uh the bobcat miner in the attic with the antenna outside
so it could run out and you know run up on my roof and everything nice and high and then if
anything ever happened or i couldn't monitor i had to double check what some of the errors were the
troubleshooting was in the minor i'd have to climb into the attic and go and do that so with that new
dashboard and we'll do a video on that here soon i am a lot more comfortable doing that especially
having two miners so with all that said absolutely guys shame on me and we're gonna look at these
numbers here on screen in just a moment but i did um i you know getting into helium mining there's
a lot of trial and error you know i do watch other youtubers and stuff but i want to be able to bring
original content to you guys of my experience and my step-by-step because not everyone
necessarily watches youtube or you know watches all the people that i do and maybe you can
emulate my successes with skipping all my errors so the very first thing that we did when we bought
our helium miners was we bought a crappy cord and so we brought i should have had these
ready we bought this crappy tiny little cord and we bought what we thought was the 10 dbi uh
omnidirectional fiberglass antenna really this is only a three dbi antenna one of my commenters said
that a 10 dbi needs to be at least three feet long and like i said this is very clearly not three
feet long this is in fact a three dbi antenna we did luckily managed to get i think a couple
of like two or three witnessing uh witnesses and we witnessed our own um hot spot with this i think
we got like three or four so not worth the maybe i it's just not supposed to be set up in an attic
or anything but really not worth the 45 dollars we spent what i am hoping is worth and then of course
there's that crappy little cable and everyone says cables are very important and so we we just
throw this set up right out the window now what is what we are hoping for is you saw it already on
the intro and you saw the other one installed but this is the rack 5.8 the rack 5.8 dbi antenna um
this is my second one i've already installed my first one and i'm trying to get it on camera here
i've already installed my first one in my attic and this is the one that's going to be installed
at my in-laws house just look where'd it go just look at the difference between
the quote unquote 10 dbi let me get it on camera here the quote unq oh my god the
quote unquote 10 dbi and then the rack 5.8 this was 40 yes it's 40 for shipping but this
was 40 this was 45 so of course we bought two so you can see the difference there and then again
this is really in the setting that's going on my in-law the antenna that's going on my in-laws
house and of course we also have that extra lmr dash 400 cable ready to go everything's all
set since we were able to custom build the since we were able to custom build this cable we
don't need any adapters or anything this will be able to plug right in and screw in which i
almost did there and then that will go right into the back of my other bobcat so very excited
to get these all set up these this setup this one will be outside uh here is the lightning arrester
that we have ready to go so we have everything ready to put this bad boy outside really nice
when you get it shipped in the mail comes in a sturdy box and then inside the box it's got
uh it's gonna be in this tube so we've actually we're gonna be keeping ours in this tube and then
it's got all the connections you need the screws it's got the um little plates so you can mount it
to an antenna um adapter outside and then wires if you need but of course we don't need those wires
so but let's take a look at a couple things online shall we as you could see here this is our minor
brief taupe fox and we have already updated it to reflect that we now have a 5.8 dbi antenna and we
did actually measure this time around we measured up to the peak of our ceiling on the inside of
our house and then from that peak inside the attic to where this is actually placed and this
is roughly eight meters it was probably about like 26 like 25.9 feet so we're just going to be
generous and say it's eight meters up in the air and only having the shingles and plywood ceiling
covering it you know being inside the attic you can see here the last activity that we had
so any of the activity that we see right here on screen in the last 24 hours is everything from our
10 dbi [ __ ] really it's a three dbi antenna and you can see that we did actually have a little bit
of decent activity overnight where did we get weeb right here so we were able to witness a beacon um
and we were paid out for that this was within the last 24 hours and this beacon was sent all the way
out from the middle of freaking orlando actually that looks like you're sammy yeah and that guy
was reaching out to everybody let's see what that beacon is running ah now i don't even care that
much so as we go back in you see now we are up at 5.8 last 24 hours we've earned ourselves about
a dollar 41 in helium and we did a 30 day video yesterday so we're not going to go over those
numbers you can just see them there on screen so i'm very very happy and then of course we
will be working on this antenna over the weekend probably saturday we'll take a trip over there and
we'll crawl under my in-laws house because we can actually run the cable down and under the house
and then straight up to the roof and this a bobcat miner is hardwired and they actually do have the
cable ports and i was able to access that and run underground or under the house and then up so
that'll be a very easy install and i'm looking very much forward to that and i'll do a video
on that probably not that maybe even that day but you'll see everything from my grounding with
the lightning arrester and the outdoor placement based on how much my in-laws are comfortable
with me filming around their house so we did this on yesterday's video talking about this but
i really wanted to make sure i dedicated a full video to doing your research and finding out um
what antennas are good and bad when i purchased this antenna you see i purchased it on july
9th this had two ratings and there were five stars each so this must have been a new antenna
that came out and i as someone that was new into helium mining not knowing exactly what 10 dbi
antennas should look like or shouldn't look like or anything like that and just kind of saying
oh man that's a really good price because i was looking at the proxy cast 10 dbi antenna for 140
and that's actually a three foot mofo uh then i found this one for 44 bucks and i was like yeah
absolutely i'll try that and then getting the results that i wasn't getting versus watching
other youtubers that have like the rack 5.8 and then all the comments you guys left me to get the
rack 5.8 and seeing all the results from people that have the rack 5.8 even in less in like more
urban uh like or more like rural environments than me where i keep saying i'm a lone wolf one of my
commenters like how are you a lone wolf exactly a lot of comments were saying if you don't have
stuff touching your hexagon you're not gonna make a lot of money so i kind of assumed that would be
like a lone wolf territory and this would be lone wolf territory unlike this where they have two
back and forth uh so that's why i was thinking it was lone wolf um but now as we learn you know we
look at this antenna it says right here it's 15.75 inches that's another red flag too yesterday on
the video when i was scrolling down to the specs because i do these videos pretty much live in like
one take i noticed that the specs were stating that this antenna is 19.69 inches long and so
then you go up here to the photo showing its specs and it very clearly states it's 15.75 inches long
and the antenna itself the fiberglass body itself is only like roughly a foot long so i wasn't
exaggerating i said it's like yay big versus that nice long ass rack 5.8 dbi so that should
have been another red flag that we saw and then when we were going over they did change this page
but if you go down to the q a section of this page um also you'll see like reviews now are actually
up where's the q a um did i pass it a problem did they remove the questions did they remove the questions because
it says right here have a question type let's see if we can find the questions there's another scam there's the proxy cast i
was talking about that makes more sense 4 dbi that probably makes more sense for it to be 38.99
and there's a big 10 dbi 100 uh where's the q a q a q a they did they removed the questions from
it oh so there was a question on here that said why is your uh title saying that the antenna is
a 10 dbi when some of the information in this in this portion here says the three dbi and they said
oops that's a mistake so that should have been the big red flag that we noticed as well um all
these cables and stuff like that i i like i said trial and error i wouldn't recommend doing any
of this um the proxy cast probably something a little bit more reasonable like this is a 15 dbi
antenna that's 86 inches a little more reasonable if you know your dbis and what exactly you need
but just be very very careful that's why we decided to end up purchasing the 5.8 dbi antenna
bundle so we've got the two there for 80 bucks and this was the biggest success antenna that
i've seen this is the biggest most popular in the comments that i've seen so that's why we're taking
the plunge with that and then we went to usa coax to custom build our excuse me monster
cable as well so we're gonna leave it going we're just gonna let it sit we are starting
a 24-hour clock right now at 3 30 p.m eastern and hopefully we are gonna get some more activity
because this is all updated now that we have this beast of an antenna up in our attic ready to
go and if you guys want to get your hands on this antenna if you have two miners it definitely i
think is something that's worth grabbing because it's 80 for the two it's only forty dollars
for one but the shipping is forty dollars so if you have two or more i believe that's a
little more worth it it comes really really really well shipped and really packaged and you
feel really confident that your product is not going to be banged up or broken so for 40 bucks
money well spent but um maybe for one antenna you can't justify buying one antenna for 80 bucks
but for two absolutely if you do uh there's a link in the description of this video or as a number
one pinned comment you could save yourself five percent on that antenna purchase and i get a small
teeny tiny little kickback as a thank you for sending it your way as well so that's gonna do it
for me today guys thank you very much for watching um you know any questions comments concerns
