FM Band Scan (Worthing, West Sussex) May 2016

[teckniqs]

Receieved on home set up during May 2016, I thought I'd add another scan as I've recently changed my 3 element beam to a 5.

FM Receiver: Sony XDR-F1HD
Antenna: 5 element beam facing London.

87.5 Raw
88.4 Vision
89.4 City Lock
90.6 Cyndicut
90.6 Hits906
90.8 Lightening
91.8 Live FM
92.7 Natural Vibes
93.0 Fresh Sounds
94.2 True Flava's (Solid RDS)
95.1 Origin
99.5 Venture
101.2 Unique
103.0 LDN Live
103.0 African
105.6 Playback
105.6 Lips
106.5 Project
106.8 Rinse
108.0 Unidentifed House

Most of them only come through occasionally during the way time very weak and a little bit better during the night hours.
The only two stations I can always hear from London are Origin and Unique and sometimes they come through quite clear. Only clear station is True Flava's from Essex/Kent, solid with RDS.

Where can I buy a 5 element beam these days I thought they weren't available anymore?

Try CPC. They all sorts of aerials and they don't charge Maplin prices!

What does cpc stand for, and where are they?

It was actually a 6 element beam but I've removed one to make it a little less narrow beam width. (doesn't make much difference to the gain though).
It's just a bog-standard Moonraker one. Used to have an Antiference 6 element which was a bit better front to back.

How much did it cost? But I got a feeling that what ever the number of elements I can't get rid of classic 1003 fm tuning to house because I have a 3 element now with the option to use 4 elements and with 4 it was worse because classic is coming from the back side?
