-----------RECEPTION, TV
 
 === Thanks, Mike, for the very detailed response.
 Much appreciated.
 
 I was thinking of an outdoor antenna, but if the
 indoor one works...
 
 But before I start buying stuff and tinkering with
 it, did any of the solutions/improvisations you
 suggest actually end up getting you the U.S.
 stations during the summer with any degree of
 success?
 
 The reception I got from the U.S. in winter
 was as sharp and crisp as the local channel 12,
 ie excellent. Now I can't even bring up a blurry
 picture -- just a blank screen.
 
 I'm guessing but I don't think height and location
 would be a factor, since they haven't changed? And
 different TV sets in different rooms all worked
 equally well -- in the winter.
 
 This summer thing is definitely a puzzle. I wonder
 if the stations themselves are aware of it?
 
 Couldn't be the mountain, since I'm clear to the
 border. Plus, as I said, excellent reception in
 winter....
 
 Temperature? Humidity? Density of the air?...
 
 Puzzling.
 
 You say it's better at night.  But these stations
 go off the air pretty early. Or do you mean after dark?
 I've only tried at 7 pm for the PBS NewsHour.
