    As a community of helium miners, I think we have a lot to learn about the way antennas work. There is no "umbrella" affect where radio waves travel up and then fall back down. At 915MHz the ionosphere won't even reflect them back to Earth. Vertical antennas are omnidirectional. Radio waves travel in straight lines from the antenna in all directions. It's more likely that, since LoRaWAN is designed for relatively short range (compared to other communications protocols) and very low power, too much gain overloads the front end on the receivers, distorting the data. I would guess 3-5dBi to be the sweet spot for populated areas, with higher gain being more useful in rural areas.

    Is there some benefit to the long 8dbi vs the short 8dbi besides just getting the antenna up higher? I mean is it going to transmit/receive better the way a larger TV antenna would?

    Hello, thank you on great video.
    Still have the dilemma about antenna type. Facts:
    6km away from the city
    80m elevation higher than the city with clear line of sight and mountain behind me.
    Should I buy omni or directional?
    Which gain?
    In case of omni, I am afraid that I will skip the city because of elevation difference and wandering if maybe to put it under some small vertical angle?
    Thank you in advance.

But my question to you is I live in a very far out remote area my town is 3,000 people not a big town anywhere close. So I was thinking of getting the 8dbi. But I live in a two-story house house going to put the antenna on the outside of the window on my second floor and run a extension cable from the antenna downstairs to the unit. Is that a problem how much of an antenna do I need or should I use or not use. Would I lose a lot the longer the cable?
