Just wondering!

Is/was there a problem with DAB off Belmont over the weekend?
Driving through Lincs on Sunday, D1 kept cutting out and BBC DAB showed weak signal. On Monday morning D1 was No Signal but BBC DAB was back up to Strong Signal.
There's nothing showing on the information about any faults.
Thanks.

My iPhone or Griffin charger kills DAB reception!
Just recently I've been given a new phone for on call @ work. So I bought a griffin dual USB charger for my car.
I've been moaning about my DAB reception for ages, but never twigged the 2 events were connected.
However today I forgot to plug in the charger, so sitting in a car park, I got the charger out and popped it in, and my DAB signal went. So I unplugged the iPhone 5 charging cable and the signal went back to strong. Repeated the test several times and yes, it even kills FM reception!
So if you're having problems with reception in the car, unplug the phone chargers and see if that makes a difference!

Sorry if this has been asked/answered before, but it's been a long 10 days at work straight and I'm shattered and there's loads of pages to read....
BUT what is the percentage/ratio of those still using DAB only radios compared to DAB+ capable radios?

I have enough trouble with the toaster disk drive and printer options, without giving it access to the internet and marmite spread related interest sites!

Is there a list anywhere of dates and locations (specific location, not general) of the new transmitters, as they start to come on stream? I would've thought that there should be a certain amount of planning to commission a site, so there should be a list of rough dates?
Thanks.

Michael : Thanks, but I wanted specific dates and locations? Surely there must be a list somewhere hidden that details more information that the general list above.

Martin Ford :
I found this too, and I found it's my iPhone 5 charging cable and the Belkin USB charger.
Both cause a significant loss of DAB signal, but when used together, my DAB signal is virtually obliterated. Even with an external aerial!

When did BBC DAB go live on South Knapdale (Argyll) as it's showing in the faults lists, but not listed as an actual transmitter with coverage on here yet?
