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?/

Cheers

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

That looks the most likely culprit.

Thanks

Its probably being killed by signals from all over europe and it will get
back to normal when the high pressure puts things back to normal.

Fading implies vertical multipath - not FM's best friend.

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.

And Radio 7 is on the internet and on Freesat.
