Sunderland Bay antenna questions
Do I need an amplifier this far out?
Sometimes. If the signal at the antenna is clean but low, a masthead amplifier helps. If it is noisy or the antenna is undersized, an amplifier makes it worse. We decide from the meter readings.
Why does my reception change during the day?
Over-water paths vary with weather and tide. A system with margin rides through it; a marginal one drops out.
What mast do you use in high wind?
Heavier-gauge masts, rust-proof clamps and guy wires on taller installs.
