Just a quick update to say that I did install my 3 element aerial in the loft. Not ideal as it still points toward the end of the party wall. Reception is quite good albeit with a little noise heard on quiet passages but good enough, especially at lower volume listening. Classic FM is a much better signal than R3 devoid of noise.I've no idea why as they are both from Sutton Coldfield. I haven't yet made a comparison between FM and internet but will do so. The new toy - Teac X1000 has my attention at the moment. I'm currently listening to a recording from last night at 7.30 of the BBC Proms Prom 71 : Bach Night. Sounds pretty good.
