I do tend to get things here, i’m not very high up, it is fairly flat to the south east nothing there until you get to lincolnshire, pennines to the west, I suppose stuff just refracts over the top of them, places near Leeds are more penned in my hills, you see the top of the emley moor mast not the whole thing the hill in stands on, the band is a bit quieter here, with no rsls setting up. I’ve tried other aerials they didn’t pick as much as the dipole, use a car radio with tef chip inside, you can eek out more sensitivity with tuners with IF’s but you don’t get the selectivity. I’ve thought about exstending it, so I get more on the 87 frequencies, I heard on friday what I think is a dutch pirate on 94.6, wouldn’t want to loose. I did manage to get a low powered signal to an online reciever afew weeks ago, their aerial was pointing in a different direction then, I was abit amazed as the antenna is in the loft, not even tuned, its the balun that does it.
I did hear three rock last week, there was also mount leinster,kippure,truskmore,clermont carn, theres something mixing with radio 3 on 90.7, i’ve been listening intently to 87.7, hoping I might hear something, theres something over the other side of the pennines, also some temporty stations in ireland there at are ex pirates might come in. Unfortunately over the past week i've been getting more interference on fm on an evening, i've been cutting the lead shorter, thinking of making a new hole in the loft so it doesn't run along side a mains cable.
