[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1155898, member: 369937"] This possible problem (in bold type) could be that the signals from this satellite are bouncing off something in the path to the satellite, I have seen this many times when the satellite is at just the correct angle to the object causing the signal to bounce, this bounced signal is 180 degrees out of phase from the main signal and will cause a drop in the overall signal. (or in some cases a total drop out) I would take a look on google earth and see whats out in front of you, a large metal roof on an industrial building, a large body of water, a large open field, a large car park or even something that radio mast could be the problem. To see if this may be the cause a little trigonometry would be needed, you know the elevation of the satellite, then you would need to see whats in the path to the satellite that may be causing the signal bounce, it doesn't have to be a direct in-line object as your not getting a full fade out in the signal, it could be something off to one side.
