Sounds like your radio is getting some image reception of Channel 5's
audio.  81.75 + 21.4 (Twice the common 10.7 IF frequency) = 103.15.  81.75
+ 10.7 = 92.45, so obviously some mixing product in the radio is causing
your WRVX problem.

The solution:  Buy a better radio and secure it to your desk!
