Metal shrinks when cold making a lose or corroded connection worse. Sun comes out, heats it up swelling the connection making it tighter.
Could also be something inside the 300 to 75 ohm transformer doing the same thing, if you have an external one.

The cable from antenna is a short homemade quad-shield that I personally made. The connecting coax is pre-made dual-shield going directly to attic running approx. 30ft before into the dist.amp.
Two weeks ago, I ran a coax directly from the antenna to one TV.
(No pre-amp, dist. amp, splitters, etc...)
Early evening I had a few (H-VHF) stations completely dropping out , but all UHF seemed OK. The only thing I can think is that the temps would drop from 90+F to 60s.
The balun was included with the antenna; could these actually go bad or be faulty under cold temps?
Thank you for your input!
