Message: [QUOTE="JER, post: 33078, member: 4529"]I've seen the wind problem with both indoor and roof top antennas in the primary service area of multiple UHF stations. My location was only about 18 miles away and with line of sight to the towers. When the wind was really bad I observed severe picture breakup or lock failure on all available stations. This occurred with both indoor antennas as well as a large roof mounted Radio Shack combo antenna (can't recall model sorry). At the time I only had a few receivers available, mostly coupon boxes, to test. None of them seemed to reduce or solve the problem. Your observation that reception was improved by switching to a lower gain antenna is interesting and it would be worthwhile to know if such a solution worked for others. I'm no longer living in an area served by terrestrial broadcasts so I'm unable to do further receiver or antenna testing under such conditions.[/QUOTE]
