I live just south of Gloucester, and typically like to tune to BBC Radio Gloucestershire on 102.4, transmitting from Churchdown Hill.
I kno that we are in an area that it maybe a bit amrginal. I ahve an outside dipole aerial, well up on the chimney.
But our Radio Gloucestershire reception is usually very poor. Yet, we can always get excellent Heart on 102.4, transmitting also from Churchdown, and supposedly with the same power. The same situatiion also occurs with an radio alarm that only uses a single wire, indoor aerial.
I cannot understand why heart is good, yet BBC is so poor. Same transmitter; same power.
