I do it all the time. I tune in a weak Philadelphia Classical/Jazz NPR station and sometimes I can pull in WQXR, New York. I also tune to a Salisbury, Md. FM station WBJC that plays classical music. As far a local stations providing adequate service, thats a laugh. I can't even get All Things Considered at home most of the time. It is ONLY on one frequency in this area. If I try to listen to NPR news I get it twice a few seconds apart because both the Philly station and the Washington D.C. station are on that SAME frequency. But they are not synchronized. The audio from one is about 12 seconds ahead of the other. No other stations I can receive carry ATC. Talk about bad service... I have a 12 element Yagi with a rotor for FM and a low noise tunable preselector. Doesn't help. This "simulcast" must be breaking some FCC rule...
