Re: Jumping signal
My signal does stuff like this too. Like when the wind blows the signal jumps around, which is probably from the antenna moving in the wind. Clouds can also affect it, don't ask me how, but my signal will be worse on cloudy dark days.
But I'm also 9 miles away from my tower, through a hill kinda. According to google earth the antenna is level with the top of the hill. Then there's some trees to go through. So I kinda expect a poor signal. I'm just amazed it's as good as it is though.
And you don't want to aim over the tower. Doing so is probably just as bad as not aiming at the tower at all. If you think you are, then try tilting the antenna down a little. That is, if you can. And I wouldn't think lowing the height of the antenna would do much, but that's depending on how much above the tower you are. |
