Igni, I would expect metal to contract in winter, and if it contracts, it shortens and the attenuation falls; thus the power rises in the downstream direction.

Where have I got this wrong? If it's just due to less tight contact, I would have expected that to be designed out. My own power levels fell in the summer and always rose in the winter by c. 3 dBmv.
