Satellite Signal dropped to these metal

[Adembar]

This weekend I flew with NEO close to the ground, with low wind and whenever I got close to these metal parts, the satellite signal dropped and when I moved away the signal returned to normal, is the influence of these metals really big?

 

[GFields]

Yes. Metal will cause signal interference

 

[Droning on and on...]

Metal can reflect RF signals when you get close to it, causing multipath interference, a known problem with GPS.

Good to know about that issue. Thanks.

House has a steel roof. Neo and Avata2 usually acquires 0 satellite. IIRC, 3 was my max. Older Garmin marine handheld GPS. Same issue. No need to wear a tin foil cap to keep the aliens from reading my mind.
