I just put up an 18 element aerial for Caradon Hill on our chimney, and it is getting a fantastic signal, signal quality 9 on all the muxs except PSB1 and PSB2. I am wondering whether this is most likely because the Westward Horelay is on the same line as Caradon Hill from here - the quality on PSB1 and 2 is variable, from 5-8. I am aware that Westward Ho is vertical (a relay) but would it still be likely to cause a problem? I was thinking of having a small vertical aerial to receive Croyde (the local relay) for PSB1 and 2 so that would obviously solve the problem, but was only hoping for one aerial really. It is strange that they put masts on the same frequencies as ones which are fairly close together. (51.1401,-4.2562)
