I have conducted several several retuned and programme scans, but I am not satisfied with the quality of signal received from the Presely transmitter.
My location is Gwaun Vale Holliday and Touring park,llano hear SA65 9TA.
What is the best antenna to receive a good quality signal from the Presely transmitter?
Thank you

I am on the Gower just West of Swansea. Poor or no reception on the lower MUX's due to the high barometric pressure, and likely to stay like this for a few days. Ah well at least the weather is good.
