I have seen reports by Bill Wright of Wright's aerials saying that they
very often get decent DAB signals off vertical FM dipoles in the UK.

We seem to be in a sweet spot for DAB reception round here,
especially
since the Northamptonshire service started earlier this year from the
transmitter at Geddington. The communal system also pulls in the
Leicester, Nottingham and Cambridge muxes as well as the locals, A
portable DAB radio will work on a bit of wet string and I can only
clear the memory of my DAB tuner by shorting the aerial input.
Bubbling mud, wossat?



Well!, checking out where you are on the terrain database that's some
125 Metres above ordnance datum which by most standards for that area is
bloody high!.

Its not surprising that you get good reception. There are quite a few
areas in East Anglia where 'bubbin mud is a well worn tune!...

Not everyone is so well blessed with such a decent area to live in ..
well with regards to height that is;!..
