As this thread is still going i thought i would dig a little in the FR24 archives.

It's quite likely the 747 lining up for departure is causing the GS distortion.
So you can't just "fix it", you need to adjust ATC procedures.

(I'm not sure about different antenna types though i believe there are types that are less prone to distortion)
