All four BBC FM services from Sutton Coldfield have been muting

earlier, causing breaks in audio and loss of stereo every few
seconds. Similar breaks are audible on a number of other stations
(including R4 Droitwich). Could somebody please give the MBN, Nicam
or whatever it is these days a thump? Ta.

Simply high pressure causing anomalous propagation known by radio
amateurs as a "lift"

Of course. Thank heavens for radio amateurs! Presumably the anomalous
propagation "lifted" the optical fibres out of place. Right?

Of course not. All the symptoms described are absolutely typical of the
effects caused by high pressure resulting in all sorts of interference. The
signals being received over the air from distant transmitters on the same
frequency as local stations. Try doing a search on the subject.



Did you actually hear the problem?
