I think yesterday I lost KGO (Ch 7) because the strong wind caused the antenna to swing left/right for about 10°-15°.
Today it rains more, but there's less wind, so I can still pick up KGO (signal is actually decent)--and even pick up KTLN from time to time (I expected to have lost it completely).
Stations on 10° (I'm point @ 319°) are getting weaker signals now. Pics freeze every min or two along a few of these channels.
Definitely need an antenna with stronger gain that can compensate for loss of signals during a normal rainy day. An antenna w/ shorter boom length will reduce the risk of being blown off-angle easily during a windy day.
