    Just moved house and my DAB only now gets about 4 local stations and Capital 🙁
    It’s a Sony, with a silly little piece of wire as an aerial – like this

    How can I improve it? Will a loop aerial help, like This?

    thanks

    Neat little diagram, although I question the need to remove the sheath from outside of the braiding for lower half of dipole…

    Thanks! But, my eyes aren’t very good do you have a bigger pic?

    Err no, not my website (or design) but came across this and built one a few months back.
    The DAB link at the top gives a bit more detail about how to build one, and for a length of coax, its worth a go.

    OK, a more sensible question – how do I join the coax to my Sony aerial plug?

    Dab aerial from screwfix, about 15 quid. Every channel going now.
