My reception of the Whitehawk Hill Ch. 60 MUX has been much degraded since Friday 10th March. My location is 1 mile line of sight to the transmitter, however there is a mobile phone mast between the aerial and the transmitter.
at800 have confirmed that this is most likely 4G interference.... "There is a new 4G mobile site transmitting very close to your location", hopefully the filter being sent to me will help.

Paul Brown: You are just one 1 mile from the transmitter! Either your signal strength is massive (check), or there is a severe problem with your aerial system. Whilst it could be 4G, if you fit the filter and nothing changes, its likely to be one of the other problems.

Paul Brown: 4G services operating in the 800MHz band are channels 61 upwards, so C60 is the closest meaning that if any are to be affected we would expect that one to be.

Received a filter from at800 today and it has completely solved the interference problem on the Ch60 mux channels.
@ Mike B... I was 100% sure that it was 4G interference as the mobile mast is about 600 metres from my property and is directly between the aerial and the transmitter!
The service from at800 was surprisingly professional and prompt.
