It is receiving most of the London Stations that is the main objective
I hope you can resolve it and achive the main objective. The west London one is also like it by the way (not quite as bad though)
As I said you need to turn off each piece of equipment (at the main plug socket) one by one in every room until the 20dB signal level of noise on a clear frequency goes down to around 0-5dB or so which is normal and will pull in MANY more stations (and maybe even be good for DX!)
My West London server has not been online yet. the other one in NW London belongs to STEF Codes.

Ahh ok fair enough then and I'm sure you can understand my confusion, so excuse me for the mix up.
....His node/server/tuner used to be called that before but used to come and go a lot and always mess up whilst trying to tune up a couple of steps (0.3MHz) and page would need refreshing every time. This was before it vanished and came back with it's different name.

Any joy eliminating that nasty intferference across the FM band? ....It's so bad it actually puts me off using it.

LED lightbulbs, that's another one. Power supplies for the wifi router, and anything with a motor connected to the mains. Run your SDR through a laptop on battery and see if that makes a difference
