I drive from Billerica to coastal New Hampshire. I'm trying to listen
to WEEI (850AM), I consider it unlistenable now. The reception is
deteriorating, it used (6 months ago) be much better. When I first
purchased the car in 2004 one of the things I checked was AM reception,
it was very good when it was brandy spanky new. 50K miles later, it
sucks.
