But when you put up a transmission aerial, then find you have areas with no reception, severe ghosting, etc., and no solution, it becomes one. A point in case: A friend of mine, years ago, had the wierdest of variable TV reception problems that changed throughout the day. It was eventually tracked down to the milk depot some way away. When they parked all their big metal trucks back in the depot, it caused massive reflections. When they were all out delivering in the morning, things were fine. And there were other strange issues when some of them were there as they went back and forth during the day. Here, we have rotten AM radio reception. There's a terrible hum all over the band. It only went away when the district power failed. My guess is the nearby high tension power lines are radiating the crap that disrupts it. You can even hear them audibly, if you go near them. And they sizzle evilly in wet or damp weather. ;-) There's much more to it than putting up a transmission antenna and reception antennas with good cabling. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
