It has been raining for a few days and I know that it effects the signal, but why only the one channel. I had fox for about six weeks.

You don't have to get on the roof. You may use a ground-based mast. If, however, your roof is 35 feet above the ground, then you probably have locations on the side of your home that are 20 feet or more above the ground. Site a J-mounted VHF/UHF antenna on the side of your home with a southeast view. For many homeowners, the extra 10 feet makes a marginal positive difference. In your case, the extra 10 feet may make a
dramatic positive difference. If you can mount the antenna at 30 feet or higher, then you can expect
no worse than 1-Edge view of all desired transmitters. You may repeat your TV Fool Radar plot with your exact location at 20 feet and 30 feet to confirm my estimates.
