Directional cell antenna for the RV

Our RV came with a TV antenna that can be raised, lowered, and rotated (demo video).  I removed the TV antenna and installed a directional cell antenna:

The antenna connects to a 12V booster in the RV which has a flat antenna that phone is placed on.  Using the phone’s signal meter, it looks like I’m getting a 40db gain relative to the phone’s internal antenna.  This should help us stay in touch even when we’re out in the middle of nowhere.

51 years old and going strong

We took the boat out yesterday afternoon to Haverstraw Bay Park after a two-year hiatus.  Still runs like a champ!
