Andy:
See the post immediately before yours.
Angus is the correct (and only) transmitter that you are predicted to get signals from.
You are 18km from it and the aerial should point at compass bearing 132 degrees (just fractionally E of SE) with its rods (or squashed Xs) horizontal. You have clear line-of-sight to the mast and should have good reception in normal circumstances assuming your aerial installation is upto scratch.
Check that the aerial looks intact, is pointing correctly, that the downlead isn't flapping in the wind, and that your coax plugs are ok with no corrosion or water.
