FM or DAB are both short range transmissions. You will probably get UK stations near border areas or possibly Wexford coast. Other than that I think it's no dice I'm afraid.

They will but the listening quality will be poor ie no stereo and very much affected by atmospherics. LW works best after dark FWIW.

/edit Here's some info on DAB
