Default DAB signal in North Norfolk

As of yesterday the DAB signal strength in North Norfolk seems to have
dropped dramatically. I am near the coast at Holt and both my dab
radios keep dropping out and the signal strength bars have dropped to
at or below the minimum acceptable.


Anyone know what has caused this? is it a transmitter problem?/


There are discussions on uk.tech.digital-tv about a possible 'lift' in
propagation recently. So it might be a related temporary change in
propagation conditions.

Can't detect any change in DAB here. The tuner I use continues to show a
level from a home-made dipole that is about 12dB above the max level the
signal strength indicator shows! But I guess the above is possibly an
explanation.

Slainte,

Jim
