Re: orange@xxxxxxx

["Campbell Macdonald" <c.macd@xxxxxxx>]

My orange reception is terrible, no reception in the house at all, but walk
5 yards from the door and bingo. Unfortunately it's almost as if they are
using a rotating directional antennae. e.g. 1
bar...none...2bar...1bar...none....

Every time I enquired about putting up an external aerial on the houseor a
car one on the window, I was passed from pillar to post, even their tech
guys hadn't a clue....Isn't that what the circular plug receptor on the
phones were for or does everyone now use their brain for a better signal
???:-)

I am tempted to fix a 7ft Firestick (cb aerial) on the roof  and try and
play about with it or even a silver rod or some dv27's etc (remember am and
sideband). Anyway, the question is will it work or am I barking up the
wrong
tree....Can anyone give me some ideas, would be most appreciative. I have
tried different systems, but they are even worse......

thanks
Campbell
