I'm at Hennock, between Dartmoor and Haldon. Signal is marginal at best. According to the websites' postcode checkers, I can't get it. However, they lie. I've done the checking and we have two aerials - both > 20m away (Torbay, and one at the eastern fringes of Devon). We also have a booster at Chudleigh. I can only get any reception if I point it at none of these! I guess there's a lot of hill bouncing going on in the Teign Valley... Anyway - since adding a new aerial and a masthead booster (20dba) the signal is much better. Also adding a further in-line normal booster (7dba) has helped. Anyone else noticed a worsening of signal starting friday night and continuing through sunday evening? -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
