insane tropo freeview is useless keeps coming and going even channels bbc1 and itv.
BBC Radio 2 89.1 is wiped out also dream 100.2 & BBC Essex 103.5 are really hissy.
I done some scans and will upload these on my YT tomorrow.
its got so bad that both my freeview and dab are fully down. so much multiple signals they just wiping each other out and screwing with freeview and dab.
do get the odd flicker of review coming on but from bilsdale (north yorks) when in here in cambs.
cant do owt bout dab though, even all the dx muxs have gone/ been blocked out

Our radio at work sounds like it's been relocated to the centre of Europe.

Sublime FM from the Netherlands 90.7 here.

Anyone know what power they are using?

Even stronger signal of something dutch on 88.9. Using jingles a bit like Heart FM's

Dutch Muxs blasting in loud and clear in Milton Keynes, drove to work this morning listening to the 6B Oost-Noord ML mux. Radio NL sounding good!

On my journey from North Sussex to South London this morning:

6B Oost from the Netherlands coming in for me. 64k DAB+ sounds SO much better (in fact, with 16 stations on the multiplex running at that, I'd be very happy with that!) than our pitiful 32k rubbish.

Picked up Cambridge trial and Oxford 10B around the top of the north downs this morning.

11C Kent was being destroyed by something, but I didn't find out what.

10D HBB and 12D Essex were enhanced further south.

11D D1 & 12B BBC were suffering from interference but didn't identify from where.

FM band was just a mess.

At approx 8:30 BST Norway was booming in on DAB/DAB+. Sounding really good. Just look at the bit-rates! We (UK) could learn something here!!

We had massive tropo openings in the 80s and 90s. Poland coming in and Italy even. But there has been some very long distance stuff down the Atlantic.. Cape Verde and West Africa. Far longer distances than you ever get over land.

I don't have patience to listen longer enough to get IDs. Seems to loads of stations putting out the same boring music and inane chat. The FM band is so crowded here.

BBC Essex 103.5 has another station on top got a recording to.
They were apologising on the Breakfast programme this morning that some listeners were having problems hearing them!

Holding up very well during the middle of the day here - still getting very strong Dutch DAB - currently listening to 10 Gold on 11C. 9D Zuidwest also very strong and stable.

Yes, the Dutch stations are blasting in. R Suffolk on 104.6 has been replaced by a Dutch station and I can't hear Norfolk on 104.4 - it's just mush! Some Germans also in.

At around 11pm I was getting a 99% signal quality from one of the Dutch muxes on 9D.

This has actually been a chance for me to confirm that the tuner I'm using does do DAB+. Living in Norwich, and therefore not normally being able to get the Digital 2 mux (although it was present earlier today in these lift conditions) means there is normally no DAB+ available, but it's getting the Dutch stations fine, and they sound good.

able to get the signal meter well past the magic point so am able to lock on and store the stations on one radio but the other will not let me lock and save but i do get all mux info though

Seems to have died off here in the West unfortunately Hopefully some stuff might come in again as it cools down later this evening!

The amount of stations (over 100) tuned in on my car radio this morning actually broke it and made me have to do a factory reset!

Most funny In Bedfordshire at work. Heart local wiped out. Heart London sounding good.

At break in the car 9.30 Radio 538 from Holland. Sounded a good station, even if I was clueless what the DJ said.
