Forgive me for being naïve, but in your configuration, that is a directional antenna when mounted as you have it?
Yes. I am in northern California, and it is pointing toward Redding where the tower is.
I have found the antenna aim difficult. I'd expect to see the signal peak up and drop as I turn the pole, but it does not respond like that. Rather, adjustments to the aim seem to take time see. Not sure why.
If your trying to aim a yagi, IMHO don't use the phone default signal strength screen. for sure do NOT use the "bars". download a app that give signal strength readout and frequency. then set the default update to to has quick as possible to see the directional effect on the yagi. There are many android apps that can do this. "Signal check pro" and "network cell info" are two I have used. there are likely similar ones for Iphones.
