Anyone With a DAB In Car Radio - Map Poor Receptions On Roads

I don't know if its my DAB aerial or the head unit getting old, or infact just a poor reception. But I am getting dead spots / blind spots / no reception on some parts of the motorway structure in the UK.

Two places that have got worse, on the M18 between A1 and M1 about half way across. Also on the A38 near the M4 I lost signal. Its only for a while say 10-20 seconds but its annoying. Also the strength on my radio is only full around the Middlesbrough area, but then one min its full strength then a few seconds later its mid strength or low.

Could people reply to this thread stating what areas of the motorways where they loose reception.

Thanks in advance.

Can't see any 'Edit' function otherwise I could add several parts of the M4 amongst other motorways.
