antenna works better in down position

I am a bit confused. It seems as though I have better reception of over the air channels when my antenna is in the down position. Since I like to camp away from cities, reception can be tricky. Does this mean that my Jayco 26DS is the new antenna? Any ideas on why reception is lousy when it should be better? Would this indicate loose wiring?

Thanks for any advice.

I am not sure the age of your coach or the antenna type, if this is generally an indication that you have an issue somewhere. It this has only happened at this one location then it could be location specific. However, if this seems to be an ongoing problem and it is an antenna that can be pointed and has been adjusted to point in the correct direction you should almost always have better reception with the antenna raised than lowered. I frequently get the same whether the antenna is up or down but that does not appear to be what you are saying.
