However, AFAIK, the DAB transmissions are vertical polarisation - at

are usually horizontal.


I thought FM used mixed or slant polarisation? Or is that only local
stations?


I thought they changed to circular polarisation many years ago as a
result of the increased use of FM radios in cars. Car aerials pretty
much have to be vertical. That would mean that you can mount the FM
aerial at any orientation.

perhaps you coul dadd some vertical 'twigs' to the FM aerial.
