If the tower sways a half or more of the wavelength of the DTV station's carrier frequency, ghosts will be constantly changing. And receivers' ghost canceling will be trying to keep up, but never arrive at a good solution for canceling the ghosts, and thus no reception. An answer to this is a very directional antenna aimed at the tower, directional enough to get the ghosts way down.
