I would use Character Map but in Windows XP SP3 it appears to be nonexistant in the Accessories folder, at least with my Acer Aspire One. and there's no such app on a iPod touch, which i have been using today. and trust me i hate tapping all this out lol
There have been huge amounts of rain, but no thunderstorms, no wind, and no extremes other than extreme levels of humidity; even with the A/C going (which is in some way a dehumidifier as well, as water drains off the unit) the indoor humidity never falls below 80%, plus red-eye tree frogs, not in my opinion native to Kentucky, have seemed quite common during nighttime when humidity levels, dew points, and fog are at their highest, along with about 90% of my TV viewing, in prime time. i even saw a red-eyed tree frog on my window, clinging vertically.
I guess it could impact reception but it seems like if the transmitters were at point A, the antenna should be fixed in that position, not requiring continual (during one night's viewing) extreme adjustments of the antenna to maintain a watchable signal, maybe a small one, but not one within 180-degrees during a 30-minute show. and i haven't had any 'magic channels' show up on my box as i did a few months back as is a typical result of tropo ducting, and when i did have such channels temporarily show up, the others which disappeared (the ones mentioned here as well, gone, poof) during such temporary acquisitions of these channels were unable to be received, no matter where the antenna was pointed. they simply exchanged places, or so it seemed. one disappeared while a far away one shows up, when the far away one goes out, the local one re-appears.
I think it's time for a new UHF antenna. sometimes the ones used on travel trailers such as mine are such inferior quality and seem so prone to random crap such as this.
