Anyone on here have lots of experience with radio telemetry for tracking birds? Just wondering if there are any tips on how to reduce signal reception through the back of the antenna?

Hi Helen,
Two suggestions coming through over twitter:
A good start is to reduce your reciever's gain as far as possible.
Hopefully you can snuff out the antenna's rear lobe that way. Headphones really help there too. https://t.co/9Eg4gpHVly

sometimes it helps to put your body behind the antenna at about waist height. Does that make sense?

Hi Helen, what tags are you using? Position on the animal and what species?
