I used to get good copy on most beacons here in DM04 but then I installed a new burglar alarm system, not realizing the consequences.  Turns out that it operates each of the 'wireless' sensors using control signals sent in the Hifer band.  Continuous transmissions which completely wipe out any hope of copying any Hifer whatever.  This is even when I use my beam which is located at least 75 feet from the house. Can't even receive NC, 'the old reliable'!!   It's too much of a hassle and expense to have the system removed or deactivated so I'm living with the situation, much to my disappointment.
