Hello,

Well I can't get the multiplex that carries Channel 5 from Winter Hill, it's
quite annoying!  The one with ITV on it goes a bit funny from time to time.
Loads of radio channels but breakup on a lot of other channels in Wirral
despite a line of sight with Winter Hill, decent antenna and coax.  I have
always had the same problem, whenever bad weather is on the way the signal
will break up.  Some days the signal is just not there!
I have tried a wideband antenna and also a grid type.  It's unfortunate I
can't get the local Storeton transmitter, the power is far too low at around
20watts.

Geoff.
