I can no longer receive a good quality signal from Pontop as the trees adjacent to my property are blocking all reception from the the south when they are in leaf, (they also make my satellite receiver useless for 6 months of the year). My post code is NE3 2UY. I have a high gain roof mounted aerial.
Catton looks a much better proposition but it's much further away than Pontop. Is it worth re aligning my aerial to Chatton or would I be wasting my time (and money)?

H: Although you are predicted as being able to receive signals from Chatton I doubt very much if in reality that you would as far as reliability is concerned, although in situations such as yours anything is worth a try, Chatton being located at 36 miles away on a bearing of 350 degrees and with no HD being possible until September 26th.
I will also say that you are not really doing yourself any favours by using a high gain aerial facing towards some trees, as high gain aerials are designed to have a sharper pick up and that's the last thing you want when the signal received is being obstructed, and so a more normal aerial such as a log periodic type is liable to give better results and with this being boosted if necessary and with a link for the type of aerials referred to below, the DM version being ideal for your particular situation.
