Even as good as heat Radio?
Radio X 80k mono to me sounds way, way worse than Jack. |

Does anyone know when the Bradford/Huddersfield local DAB will start transmitting from Idle/Wrose Hill to serve Shipley, North Bradford. Thanks

Not sure if this is build out related but.
Today when in Birmingham, standing outside Queen Elizabeth Hospital, I did a quick DAB scan on my little radio. I managed to pull in Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and Northamptonshire muxes. Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire only came in when the wind blew(!) for some reason. Also when passing the Litchfield transmitter on the M6 Toll, I could pull in Leicestershire with Derbyshire 100% of course. Gloucestershire was also gettable in parts of Birmingham. This is all in addition to what I normally get which is all the usuals plus Wocestershire and Coventry. Is it normal for wind to influence reception? Thanks |

Wind doesn't influence reception (unless your rooftop antenna is moving round a fair bit). But, the troposphere does - and in summer weather conditions, that might be the interesting thing.

I think Holme Farm might be on with Nottinghamshire - managed to get all the way to Ikea retail park without a drop out, normally it dies as you leave the A610 and the signal around there is weak - showing full strength yesterday

Guess the current phrase step1 BBC and D1 national DAB and local DAB rolllout is almost complete. Some sites (like Mid Wales) are delayed to step 2 waiting for 50% digital listening when a DSO date can be announced? |

Crabwood Farm South Hants DAB
Interestingly the tech parameters are still showing Crabwood Farm as 0.7 ERP. I thought this has already been upgraded. My improved reception near Andover must be due to the increase in power at Chillerton or Toot Hill I suppose. I wonder why the delay on Crabwood?

I am pretty sure turners hill has had its power increases for both CE birmingham & Wolves Shrop.
I wouldn't be surprised if the other shrop transmitters are on. Reception has improved considerably since the start of september. |

What's left in the current build-out programme between now and the end of the year?
The extra transmitters I'm aware of that are still due are: CE Birmingham - Headless Cross Muxco Lincolnshire - High Hunsley Muxco Suffolk - Felixtowe |

Also are there any more for 12D North West Wales? Noticed a few more on and some missing on the spreadsheet. BTW the errors mentioned here have now been rectified. |

However not all of the fill in transmitters have gone on yet, i was at the Oswestry area Tx site at selattyn yesterday, the cabin is now in place complete with GPS beacons, but no aerials on the transmitter as yet, but i guess it won't be far off! |

Frequency finder suggests some of the additional Cornwall sites have started.
One being NHT which if Plymouth MuX is to go by should go some way especially along the south coast. |

I don't think so - the signal in Nottingham is however slightly improved - but not enough to indicate Waltham is in use (Waltham TV/Smooth Radio come in on a wet piece of string unlike Copt Oak).
