[p]All:[/p][p]
[/p][p]The good news is that I've replicated a tip from another user about putting an antenna on a mast to get boosted cell coverage.  In Chaco Canyon in NM that famously declares 'no cell coverage' I've got a 15 ft mast that is pulling in signal.  But the curious thing is that only my Ipad is getting it - see the photo attached - an IPhone 6 and a MIFI both are seeing 1x while the Ipad has 2 bars of LTE.  Not blazing fast but it is reliable.  Sharing for others that may be interested in getting the best internet signal possible - and also posing the question - why the Ipad?[/p]

Great to hear it's working out there. Not sure which booster you have. Many are compatible with all carriers though. I know nothing of the mifi. What works in many other devices is switching into, then back out of airplane mode.
