In Reply to: You are aiming it at each station? can you do that in the spce in the loft? compass bearings? approximate? posted by Timbo in Oz on November 8, 2006 at 20:54:03:

very strange results, see if you can get a swap, you should be able to.

What is yr roof made of - and

What electrical wiring and other 'stuff' --- Water heaters (copper), copper pipes, AC-mains heating mesh just above ceiling --- is in the loft?

If there is such stuff / a small enough compass swing within all yr stations lie, then you might be able to use layers of vertical / horisontal chicken-wire mesh behind - grounded to outside mind with woven copper strap. In that arc < ---) or even tighter as in a concave vee < ---> .

I would recommend you borrow or buy a book about antennas or the ARRL handbook. 'Joe Cass's - Receiving Antennas' is VERY good and is reasonably uuntechnical - it covers a lot of stuff about antennas including yagis. And the AM MW/BCBand antenna stuff is excellent, as well.
