Well Barnoldswick is within the coverage area for the Skipton transmitter BUT it will depend on exactly where you are. We need a full postcode to look at the Predicted reception.
Skipton is a relay of the Emley Moor transmitter and there has been major work at Emley scheduled from the 4/12/20 so it's quite probable this will have affected your transmitter and reception. To provide any further assistance we'd also need some more detail about your reception problems.
