AL:

It ain't intereference....it's called 'capture effect.' Your radio will 
'capture' the strongest signal it hears within its passband.

Call your closest T-V repair operation and tell them you want a notch filter 
for 90.9 Mhz. If they don;t have one...ask them to order it for you (probably 
$15 or less). Otherwise head over to Radio Shack and get a tuneable notch 
filter...the tuneables usually don't work so well because they're difficult to 
effectively tune. If these sources don't work...call our Operations 
Department...I think Scott has a source for these he'd probably be willing to 
pass onto you.
