Hi There, I have a automatic gate opener that is playing up on me, It has stopped responding to the key fob from any distance, except when I'm right at the box on the lower wall(grey box), or right at the top, where I have a electrical joint attached to end of the co-axial cable and two pieces of copper sticking out of it.…

One of the copper wires may be disconnected (possibly the one connected to the core wire of the coax). You may also have a problem with the ivy on the antenna. Clear the ivy from around the antenna and check that the wires are still connected and that the electrical terminal and the coax don't have water damage.
