drop out with plane flying over

I struggled with an indoor (Radio Hack) antennae for nearly a year before I
bit the bullet and installed a Roof mounted one. I had similar experience -
week (60-70) signals, certain ones would not come in when others would,
intermittent drop out, etc. (We have a Stucco home = Chicken Wire probably
adds to the interference.)Very frustrating after spending so much money on
HDTV. Installed a roof antennae. Got it as high as 15'. This solved all my
reception issues. I normally get 95-100 constant on all OTA stations.

Good luck.

Hi

I have a silver sensor which works pretty well (70%+ on signal meter on
all channels I want to get). However, whenever there's a plane or
helicopter flying over near me (not necessarily right overhead) I get
drop outs. Would installing a roof antenna mitigate this, or make it
worse? (I also get some drop out from blender and vacuum machine; I
guess a roof antenna would take care of those.)

That problem seems very rare.

I'm inbetween three very busy airports and have never experienced any
interference. The home appliance problem is almost unheard of here...

What's the configuration of your system otherwise?

I notice it all the time listening to distant FM stations. I have never seen
OTA HD but have seen it with distant NTSC stations. I'm talking about 40+
miles.

YMMV

I have a set-top UHF antenna, and I get those drop-outs when I hear a
chopper flying around my neighborhood.
