RE: in city indoor antenna reception with dropouts.. VPI bricks under help.. WHY?

Posted by Russell on February 12, 2010 at 08:42:54:
At my dad's house, dropouts are fairly sporadic and only affect certain channels, but when they do occur, they seem to coincide with planes flying overhead. (He lives on a hill near SFO.) Maybe those VPI bricks are somehow blocking whatever interference that planes might be emitting???

My dad's using a VERY old (50's-era) TV antenna for his digital TV reception and it seems to do a decent job, but I'm hoping to find something better and more 'modern' for him....
