Testing a $200 MIMO Antenna for RV Internet – EPIC FAIL or Fix?

Testing a 0 MIMO Antenna for RV Internet – EPIC FAIL or Fix?

I ditched Starlink for T-Mobile’s blazing fast 5G home internet—and it worked… until it didn’t. Parked deep in a river valley with upload speeds slower than dial-up, I turned to the $200 Proxicast MIMO antenna to save the day.

Does this omnidirectional antenna boost my speeds enough for live streaming and uploads? Or is it just another overhyped gadget?

📡 In this video:
• Real-world testing in a remote RV park
• DIY ham-style antenna mounting
• Upload/download benchmarks before & after
• External antenna setup tips
• Honest results (spoiler: not everything goes as planned)

Top Band SOTA

Top Band SOTA

On this adventure, we set out to activate a summit on one of the least-used SOTA bands – 160 meters. Requiring big antennas and more power to contend with atmospheric and man-made noise, this band is tough to operate while portable. But that’s not going to stop us. In fact, we pick a peak with a tough hike just to add to the challenge. Think we can get it done? Let’s gooooo!
