I have a dish 1000 and I am located ~30 north west of Columbus, Ohio.
I am considered to be in the Columbus, Ohio DMA for my locals.
The signal strength on transponder 2 is very low therefore I lose locals whenever it is raining. The other transponders for 129 show stronger signal strengths.

Transponder 1 spot 25 is Cleveland, Ohio
Transponder 2 spot 25 is Columbus, Ohio
Transponder 3 spot 25 is dayton, Ohio

Any suggestions why transponder 2 is so weak?
I checked my signal strength on 2 different 622 receivers with similar results.
