[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 997719, member: 176704"] I don't think that it's so much the topography as the fact that all the buildings around (360 degrees) mean that anything line-of-sight below an elevation of about 15-20 degrees (especially from the SSE to the SSW, is effectively blanked off by them - and so signals at 1090MHz won't penetrate them unless they are very strong, and thus quite local. Therefore getting the antenna quite a bit higher (without making it too obvious to the neighbours to avoid also drawing attention to the adjacent 5 sat dishes, so I need to spray it green/brown) is the next step.
