If you run two antenna simultaneously then... 1) they both can't be at the same location and 2) What if the two antenna interfere one with the other.
I think maybe you need to collect data over a long enough period of tine that wether averages out. the satellite tracks repeate pretty much exactly What you might want to know about an antenna is more than just S/N for good locations but how it does with adverse conditions like multi path and a nearby jammer and maybe gain vs. elevation and also dumb practical stuff like if birds like to perch on it and if there is a way to route the cable through the mast pipe or not On Sun, Nov 20, 2016 at 2:13 PM, Hal Murray <hmur...@megapathdsl.net> wrote: > > Is that even a sensible question?
