"Richard Harrison"
I understand. My strugle with TV reflections involved antennas atop the
corporate headquarters. We had to have a perfect color picture in the
executive lounge and there was no cable yet. The founder, chairmman and
CEO was proud of his luxury and toys. We had a lot of signal, but too
many signals due to other skyscrapers around ours. With sharp enough
antennas we were able to clean up the mess. Better a hero than a goat!

Here's another war story. Many Chicago TV stations moved to the new Hancock
Bldg to use one of the RCA antennas that were stacked there on two masts.
When one of the big network O&O stations flipped the switch to start using
this new site, the on-air picture at their studio turned to absolute
garbage, right in front of all the executive staff gathered in a boardroom
to celebrate. The studio was located about four blocks from the Hancock
Bldg, and close to the null in the elevation pattern of the new 2-bay
antenna they had switched to. Most of the RF they could pick up was from
reflections. I think they finally installed a very high gain antenna skewed
upward up at a large elevation angle focused at the top of the Hancock Bldg,
but the best picture they got was never very good.
