I first noticed most of my preset stations had lots of interference this 
morning.  (I drive from Barre to Boxborough MA in the morning.)

WFNX was unusually unlistenable.  WXRV fights with WWYZ around here, so 
that wasn't too surprising.  But WBRU was also unlistenable.  So, going 
to the noncommercial section of my presets, I tried to tune in 89.3 from 
Amherst and found it coming in surprisingly well.  Well, surprise when it 
was the 89.3 from Maine coming in like a local!

I used to DX lots of TV in my younger days, usually on warm summer 
nights.  This is the first time I've experienced this on a clear morning, 
though!
