When I put my jambox's tuner near 97.5 (analog dial), I get star94 and 96rock (and maybe 97.5 softly) at once if the collapsible antenna is pointed east. If I point it straight up and slightly southwest, I get 97.5 while standing near the antenna (blocking signals from east and southwest?) Sit down, and lots of static comes in. The FM tuner is behaves a lot better for 97.5, but has a little static/background white noise when it doesn't get a station in well. Seems to noticably distort when DJ's talk (like the S's in words). -Sidi, wondering if he's proved stations are strong around here. -- Things heard on WRFG Atlanta 89.3 FM: "You can only have the parents you have electrically vibrated with."
