Very nice, but you may be losing a little bit of vertical coverage due to the 6 DBI gain. A 3 DBI gain is a bit better at receiving from below the plane of the antenna or above the plane of the antenna.

That seems to more of a theoritical problem thsn a practical onem. I can get strong reception from the bottom of the pole. However, it is why I didn't go with a 10 dbi antenna.

Fair enough. I know there are people who take their nodes on flights and higher gains definitely don't work well with those due to the vertical component being cut off severely.
