I full time so I am all over the place and always having to set the antenna all over again for the new place I park.
What I found out, after spending hours on end tweaking and turning and tweaking and turning the antenna to get stations in without breaking up every 2 seconds 'because I think it's MY antenna, is..........
If you are parked long enough in one spot you will realize that some of these stations only broadcast at full power
(laymans terms the ham's can explain this in better terms)
when there are the most viewers. I have seen stations 'only' have a signal during prime time evening. And then in the morning be gone.
Also there will be about 8 channels that never have a signal, until Sunday morning and you now have 8 religous channels and broadcasting load and clear better than the main local channel.
The Spanish channels come in loud and clear no matter where I park!!
One forum ham operator explained why this happens.
My spin on this is with the introduction of cable fewer people are watching reg TV so they conserve when and how they use their broadcasting signal power. They no longer have to broadcast at 110% to reach the most viewers for their sponsors to be happy.
