Pity the poor sods in London.. interference on FM and now ****e on DAB.

I get far more interference on FM here that I did when I lived in East
London. One of the things I welcomed about DAB as it has shown almost zero
interference effects here. Signal level about 12dB above the top of the
scale on the tuner.

Slainte,

I live in London, and I get full strength signals on all services -
maybe to do with living up on top of the hill at Hampstead Heath. On
analogue TV I have to use an attenuator on the antenna lead or I get a
bit of intermod.

Multipath on FM was a bit of a problem until I put up a Yagi, but that
is fine now. I never hear any interference, although I can go hunting
for the pirates.

In the battle between FM and DAB, I am torn. Like Jim, I hate the
dynamic compression on FM; it makes me feel a bit seasick, but I also
find listening to DAB a strain over a period of more than a few
minutes. I really only use it for stations that don't appear on FM.
