21st century and I still can't listen to bloody 5 Live in my car during the hours of darkness before some bloody Benelux station sticking their oar in. Is this phenemenon restricted to us poor northerners, or do you southern softies suffer like this too?
I think this is a northern problem, as I don't have this problem on the south coast, but I often have to switch between 693 and 909mw to get the best signal depending where I am
Always the same whether I'm in Nottinghamshire, Kent or North Devon.
I don't mind too much though because occasionally I end up hearing some awesome traditional French music and I get a lovely nostalgic trip back to memories of Quebec :*)
I somehow manage to get Radio Paris - GCSE French grade C doing overtime to work that out - yet struggle to get the local station that is broadcast from 3 miles down the road

I don't understand the local DJs in my region either.
It's more to do with being on the coast rather than more centrally - I used be able to pick up a very fuzzy Dutch TV station on a portable telly using just one of those little circular aerials when I lived in Mablethorpe. The first mobile phone I had, which I got after my Dad died so that my family in Mablethorpe could ring me at any time worked fine in London but not at all in Mablethorpe. Or even Grimsby.
