SHMBO has an awful Pure DAB radio in the kitchen and has to extend and
adjust the telescopic aerial constantly to hear any music amongst the
squawking choppiness of the output.
That is normal for DAB. You can make a dedicated aerial for it from some
coax (simplest type) or a dipole loop which will improve things a bit
but it still dissolves into boiling mud when it rains.
Except when it doesn't.
If you have some signal then it should make an obvious improvement. But
doubling "no signal" is still "no signal". Parts of the A1 for instance.
