I used my external radio aerial for VHF for 3 decades until my hi-fi packed up. Switching to a small music centre (Yamaha MCR 042) I found this worked well on VHF and DAB, using only the little indoor aerial provided. After 2 days, assuming the external aerial would work better, I plugged it in but found no difference.
However, there was bad storm last night and it was still stormy this morning, when I switched on. The sound in both cases was hopelessly distorted but worse with VHF. Replacing the indoor aerial restored both. What could account for the problem with the external one?
