best to do is see the best one when in the car seeing which goes the most but the band is pretty full now even Suffolk has a lot of stations within 10 miles that are not picked up at my house.
because a few miles along the coast the Dutch ones start coming in to. :lol:

Goto fmscan.org and set your location. In the options at the top of the FM results page click "additional options" then "find free frequencies", and at the bottom of the page it will list some free frequencies. Double-check it from your QTH.

I drove around my area doing scans using a Pira FM Analyzers.

Ended up with 8 different scans from the extreme edges of the area I want to cover.
The rest was easy :whistle
