Hi Members,
I have a antenna mast approximately 4 meters long which is about 1 meter off the ground attached to a wooden fence using saddle clips. Now I have lowered the mast so it's now touching the ground (loosened saddle clips to let it slide down).
Since the mast is now resting on the ground, I have noticed a big improvement in reception on my scanner.
My question is, does having the mast touching the ground improve reception? The fact I lowered it a meter I thought I would lose reception.
Thank you.
