Blackpool RT Transmissions

Transited past Blackpool a couple of times recently on a superbly provided basic service , usually at a range of about 10 miles inland. At around 1500 to 2000ft. Radio reception is sometimes very feint and hard to distinguish from ATC.

Anybody else had this ??? I can hear every other aircraft on frequency including those on the ground requesting start and airfield info but ATC can be sporadically feint.

I know it's not the aircraft radio as no other airfield appears to have such sporadic feint transmissions.

Is it just due to the height being flown ? found the signals stronger from Blackpool ATC at a range of 10 miles north of the field than 10 miles east or south ""

Anyone else observed this ??
