Spoke too soon. Just checked again and R4 much weaker. The fact that signal strength can vary so much must be down to propagation, surely.

Hi Chris, I find that the signal strength for all frequencies from Holme Moss can vary by ca. 10dB over a few hours, but R4 on 93.7 is consistently the weakest, whilst Classic FM on 101.1 is usually the strongest. Day/night or the weather doesn't seem to have any effect. At the moment I'm showing 47dB for R4 with the other frequencies between 55 and 60dB. Maybe water has got into the connection up on the aerial, but there is no way I can check that. I'm not aware of any interference on any stations, including other FM radios we have, and our Christmas lights are not on at the moment.

Hi Steve, Cable was replaced at same time as aerial and it feeds directly into tuner. Connection looks good. Just checked signal strengths and all are fine today. Guess we may never get to the bottom of the mystery. Thanks for your help.

No, definitely 93.7. Checked again this morning and R4 back in line with others regarding signal strength. So, unless there was some engineering work, which wasn't flagged, it will remain a mystery. Again, thanks for your help.
