      Would a parabolic dish (e.g., a repurposed Dish/DirecTV dish) improve the signal reception?

         Repurposing a dish would be fun, but I would probably make the reception worse. On top of the tower is a yagi antenna that works woderfully. Increasing tower height (currently at 16') should help with reception.

            I looked at the pic again and noticed that yagi! We've got a Weboost like this one. We use w/ our RV when we're within cell range, but have no dedicated interwebs. I climb on the roof of the RV and have a PVC pole mount I attach to the TV antenna https://status.gnotc.com/attachment/11

               That is basically what I have; although my hardware only boosts the 700Mhz signal
