Theres always FM...



There's no Radio 7 on FM, more's the pity.


If there was a problem with "signals from all over europe" it'd affect
FM far more than it would DAB.


That rather depends on the details of what is causing the changes in
propagation, where you live, etc. Bear in mind this isn't simply a matter
of frequency. Also a matter of the DAB TXs being lower powered and relying
on the RX being able to use the modulation methods employed to get a good
reception from a much poorer CNR at the RX than would be OK for FM.

FWIW last night my R4 FM reception deteriorated to the point of being
unlistenable. So FM reception here has certainly been varying recently.

Slainte,

Jim
