Hi Graham, my aerial is positioned vertically, from the pics I’ve seen the aerial is pointing more or less to storeton from what i can see.
I have taken a pic and attached of the house at the top part, hopefully so it can't be identified as such where the aerial is, would that because any interference with the roof do you think, mainly next doors at the top?
I have put an arrow to the right, would the aerial really have been better in that position?
Also on the left you can see a big mast in the background, i'm not really sure what this is for but it is kind of in-between the direction of storeton and where my aerial is pointing, do you think this may cause any issues?
I have attached a pic of this mast as well.
Looking at your photo I can't see the aerial elements. But it looks as if the transmitter is close enough to see.
That close to a 2000KW transmitter chances are the tuner front end is swamped way beyond the linear output of the UHF carrier is way higher than the tuner can cope with.
Fortunately too high a level is easy to cope with.
Try a cheap signal attenuator.
The last thing you need that close is extra amplification.
