Does the antenna have a rotator?

I have one and there are three different azimuths I use most often and it took me a considerable amount of experimentation to discover the best antenna facings.

In perfect conditions I can get all the channels pretty reliably pointing directly at the weakest station and letting the stronger stations use the weaker receiving lobes. But as soon as clouds and storm show up I start to have to point directly at the sending antenna to receive channels. Sometimes it takes a bit of tweaking to make a channel come in.

Rarely, mostly when there is a storm between my antenna and the transmitter, I can't get a channel.

So far the digital change has been fairly worthwhile. Reception is all or nothing but, so far, for the most part, I get all the channels, several more than I used to, all the time.

It wasn't free. I had to get a digital converter. Had I not already had them I would have had to have bought antenna, pole, and rotator. Roughly $250. On the other hand the same money only buys you about four months of cable so I'm ahead of the game.
