My radio appears to have got worse recently, even major stations like Radio 1 are starting to crackle a bit at the slightest bit of interference, only ok when in clear area. anyone else find this? didnt used to be like this? any tips?

Exactly the same here!!! Weird eh? It can't be down to the transmitter, as I am on the London/Essex border and last time I checked, Leeds was in Lancashire! (assuming they didn't move it down here!)
Radio 1 seems particulary bad but Heart, Magic and Virgin all seem to lack signal too. I thought someone has nicked my aerial and I pulled over to check but no, its still there.
Is it an ST conspiracy????

Might seem a daft thing to ask, but it isn't something just as simple as having knocked your aerial loose when washing it or something perhaps?

every now and again my radio de tunes for a few seconds while i have radio 1 on, it settles on a frequency and comes up with a random name for a radio station. think it starts THAIK...with a few more letters or somethin like that anyway, its brief so i dont catch it all as i tend to look in front of me and not stare at the radio lol
