Two questions spring to mind
1.
How long is a piece of string
2.
Where do you live. (if you are in Manchester etc forget it
!)
Radio waves travel in straight lines and over a certain distance the
curvature of the earth gets in the way, not to mention manmade objects and
hills/mountains.
The critical factors are
1.
The height of the transmitter
2.
the height of the receiving aerial
3.
the distance a to b and wether anything is blocking it
4.
the strength of the received signal
5.
is there anything else on that frequency that may swamp
it.
Dont forget that radio bandwidth is a precious commodity and they
tend to reuse the same frequencies once they get outside the designed
reception area plus a small safety margin. That is why freak weather in the
summer causes so much co-channel interference due to signals travelling
much
further than they should. Its also why I get loads of continental staions
in
the summer months but tend to loose my designated UK
transmitters.
GRRR !!!!!
Working from home today and listening to Classic
Gold on SKY Digital and they just ran an advert saying
"Dont buy an ordinary radio....buy a DIGITAL
one"
"
You dont know what you are missing"
YES I DO........... BASTARDS

That all very well, but I want to listen to new
radio stations, like the ones in London :) not the ones I've already
got.
If is stick a really big DAB ariel on the
roof, will I be able to pick up the London Muxs?
