   Alternatives to thinking and intelligence?  Oh ... you mean alternative
new sources.  Sorry....

   WRONG.  One has to also be LUCKY.  Since YOUR station's antenna
is in a direct line between MY receiver and WBEZ, and YOUR 90.9 overwhelms
WBEZ's 91.5, I am denied the ability to be selective.  I tried the cable-FM
bit from Jones Cablevision, but they don't carry WBEZ -- some Minnesota
station has the slot, I believe.  { I'll admit that our neighbors up at
Wheaton College on 91.9 seem to have a HEFTY signal -- but they're further
away....  Anyone ever check their signal strength? }

   So, I have a choice:

 1) listen to WDCB -- not a bad choice, but there's too little news and
      the jazz has a little too much "bop" in it -- I'm a mellow kinda'
      guy -- or

 2) put up my own antenna (there's room in the attic) or

 3) remove the interference....

   I'm working on door number 2....  Told you I was mellow.

  PS:  I'm a satisified user of both Wheaton College and COD.
     I'd just prefer that my daily dose of NPR not end when I get home.

  PPS:  On the TV news arguments (fairness, etc.), I vote 'abstain'.
     I seldom watch'em, so I shouldn't vote.
