    While I have no problems with RTE radio One's signal quality, I have noticed there are frequent breaks in reception from time to time, lasting up to around two minutes or so. Sounds as if there is ongoing work on the city transmitter but this thing is going on for a long time, sometimes with a series of transmission breaks at a time.

    Never hear any explanations from RTE though. I have a feeling it could be an issue with the city transmitter up on Woodcock Hill.

    Possible it has something to do with the work RTE has been doing on Woodcock hill over the past few months with the DTT trials, is it in your car your having problems or in a radio at home???

    Both actually...... breaks in transmission lasting from twenty seconds up to two minutes. Usually mid-morning.

    This has been happening on and off for ages. Nothing to do with my radio receivers....other channels work fine when the RTE outages happen
