Hello, Dave.

You know, you could probably drop a dime on the station to the FCC about that.
You might even call your jazz station and try to talk to the station engineer
to see if he's had that problem before.

Having satellite radio for long road trips is a huge advantage over terrestrial
radio.  I don't plan on making many road trips for the next several years since
I'm going to be tied down here, but if I ever get a RV and we can travel, I'll
definitely spend the cash on getting satellite radio.  When I drive long
distances, I have to have the radio on to help keep me awake.  With my sleep
apnea, I'm more prone to highway hypnosis and what-not, so listening to music
or an engaging conversation on talk radio really helps me go.  Even on a short
trip, such as to Atlanta (about four hours south), having something to listen
to is great.

My wife has a good collection of audiobooks and I think I may bring my spare
MP3 player, loaded with an audiobook, along with us.  Since I am the only
driver in the household and Maura likes to fall asleep on trips, I have to have
something to listen to or else I might fall asleep too. <G>
