frank,
Glad to hear that you found a solution to the CICT-DT reception shielding.
Yes - UHF frequencies are remarkably sensitive to localized effects caused by objects and topography. That's why I would always recommend an outdoors antenna in order to avoid effects due to movement of people etc. in the local vacinity of the antenna's reception path.
You may also be interested to know that CityTv (CKAL-DT) have their 100Kw ERP transmitter set up and ready to go on Channel 49. They're waiting on CRTC approval in order to switch it on. It will be using the same panel antenna array as Global CICT-DT so if you receive Global well, then you should also receive CityTv well but the proof of the taste of the pudding is always in the eating - Wot?
