As the OP is a great DAB fan one wonders why he's bothering with VHF

In a lot of the UK there is sufficient signal strength so that a FM
band 2 dipole vertically polarised will pick up usable DAB signals...


Even so, one doesn't see band 2 antennas deployed vertically on houses.
Perhaps that's habit by the installers?


The vast majority you see round here are those halo thingies which are
only for local reception - so presumably should be vertical? But never are.
