Chris Stewart: Hi, Chris. As you move North and West of Aberdeen you come into the range of Meldrum and going South you get into the range of Durris - see Briantist's coverage maps of these DAB transmitters on this UKFREE.TV website. This would suggest that the issue is local to the Dyce/Bridge of Don district and indeed the Balgownie transmitter locality as the result of a fault that has developed on the Balgowrie transmitter. It's a pity that Des (above post at 1:58 p.m. after having reported a transmitter fault), wasn't taken seriously. Maybe it's going to be a case of 'numbers that count',i.e. the more listeners that complain, the greater the probability of something being done? Richard, Norwich.

Des: Hi, Des. I note that you are probably only around 11 miles from the Meldrum DAB transmitter on Smithy Croft to your North/North-West, so this would now strongly suggest that the problems people are having in Aberdeen city centre are a result of a fault on Meldrum, rather than on Balgownie (Bridge of Don0, after all! I am saddened by the response you had from the BBC. I am currently urging listeners to 'vote with their 'hands' by picking up their phones and ringing the BBC helpline. Richard, Norwich.

mel: Hi Mel. It looks as if someone. somewhere finall recognised and accepted that there was a fault and has finally rectified it!!! Perhaps the posts on Briantist's site here have some effect when quoted to "the powers that be"! Richard, Norwich.
