Using DAB / DAB+ to check propagation with Welle.io (sh.itjust.works)

With DAB and DAB+ now widely available in Europe it's really easy to leverage it to check propagation. Every couple of hours I run a quick scan accross all of the multiplexer to see the ones I pick up. DAB / DAB+ in Europe operates mostly on VHF Band III between 173-230 MHz making it a good indicator about the propagation on 2m. I use welle.io as a software with an RTL-SDR v3 screen and a simple home made vertical dipole cut for 2m and that's plenty to catch stations about 200 Km away on a daily basis.
