I'm about 45 mi. sw of Chicago. I'm working at the kitchen table, hit the preset on our okd Bose Wave for WFMT, the Chicago classical station, which is only 45 mi away - only to hear Hootie and the Blowfish.
After a small panic that they'd flipped formats, I ran a search on the frequency and found out it's coming from Springfield, in broad daylight.
Especially strange, as it isn't actually an empty frequency.
