Well, I've heard of HD producing hash on AM, but not on FM.  But I 
readily admit that I don't really know much about the technicalities 
involved.  I might add, I've only noticed the problem in my office 
downtown, not at home in Brookline.

Not that I know of.

No, the one in my office is a solid state radio.  I've been using a 
couple of tube sets at home, which haven't had any problems with 
WCRB.

I don't know about the line voltage, but the radio has been plugged 
into the same place for years now.
