>1.5 meaning less than 4% out the output turned into heat rather than radiated.
Sounds like a pretty good ratio for a ''junk'' antenna right? How do you get 4% out of 1.5 though?
Here is the famous antenna if you're curious. It says ''VSWR: <1.5:1'' , not sure what it means.

I mean POW does not work like this. You're referring to POS right there and to be fair there is a reason why it exists and is preferred to POW (less power consumption, less waste etc...).

Sounds like an interesting project. You think it has a future?

Agreed.
Do you know how far you are from the nearest tower? If its over 5km I would suggest working on ensuring the signal is strengthened. You can do this by installing external antennae on the routers. Something like this will work: https://www.amazon.com/Tupavco-TP514-Directional-800MHz-960MHz-1-7-2-5GHz/dp/B008Z5QB96 Feel free to direct message me if you need more info on how to do the setup. I did it and am connecting 13km to the nearest tower in Chongwe area.
Recharging the bundles on the SIM cards is easy if you download the respective Apps for Airtel and MTN and connect the SIM for your mobile to the App. Any of the retail stores should be able to help you do that.
Log periodic antenna + inductive coupler + low loss cable + connector. No idea if any of this will work or even screw together. Low loss cable may be overkill for short distances.
