Hi guys,
I had placed my antenna on the roof a few days ago. Simultaneously I added an LNA and I was getting really good range. Almost 78 nm.
I had to move the receiver, because the WiFi coverage was poor and the connection was dropping. As I placed the antenna on the new place the range got significantly worse. I measured the LNA and it is getting voltage. So I decided to do a little test and move the antenna back to it's original location. And the range increased again.
So what is the secret? The antenna was placed originally on the stainless steel roof of the chimney.

After moving it to the new location this is the result:

It seems the steel plate is amplifying and reflecting the signals significantly.
What would be the perfect shape for steel plate? What is the explanation for this phenomenon?
