The symbol shows the location of the Crystal Palace (Greater London, England) transmitter which serves 4,490,000 homes. The bright green areas shown where the signal from this transmitter is strong, dark green areas are poorer signals. Those parts shown in yellow may have interference on the same frequency from other masts.
Are there any planned engineering works or unexpected transmitter faults on the Crystal Palace (Greater London, England) mast?

My BER drops from around 50 to 10 when it rains. How is this possible?

Matt: It could be caused by a number of reasons, these ranging from water droplets getting into an aerial connection, obviously only applying if an outdoor type is used, to the signal being received having an element of obstruction attached to it, the reflective aspect of whatever changing when wet thereby causing a variation to the signal strength received.
Another reason concerns loft aerials being used under a roof clad in certain types of dense stone type slates, as water on them can reduce the strength / quality of a signal right down even although they are perfectly OK in dry weather.
Or of course you might be receiving the signal at some distance from a low powered transmitter, and rain droplets will have more of an effect on a signal in this type of situation.
But its very difficult to say, as you haven't mentioned anything about your location or aerial used.

The aerial is a Televes DAT 75 (for my sins) with an antiference mast head amp mounted outside on a 10ft mast on a pair of wall brackets, with a total height of around 9 meters. The ITV mux is the one that is affected the most. It's just that normally when things get wet, they get worse, not better. The only thing I can make sense of is the fact a tree within sight of the aerial has different propagation characteristics when wet.

Oh by the way, I mounted it. Initially, it was on Midhurst, hence wideband, but then I decided to move it over to CP to get mux C and D.
