so my antenna for my scanner is located outside mounted to my deck because it gets perfect reception versus being inside my home were it gets horrible reception but a few days ago I noticed that just as soon as the SUN came up my transmission was HORRIBLE very hard to even understand what they are saying on the scanner BUT just as soon as the sun went down it was absolutely crystal clear again until the following morning when the sun came up again.

What in the world is going on and is there anything I can do??

I tried repositioning the antenna OUT of the sun but still outside and it didn't help.

It would help if we knew what kind on antenna you have......
