How strong is that signal?

By Eric O Brien

Musings From Eric:

It's time for the Holiday light display at Hartwood Acres. As part of the celebration, there is a music track (along with Joe DeNardo announcements) available on your car radio as you travel through the show. Keep this in mind.

Now, when I use my XM (and yes it was XM originally) receiver in the car, I use an available FM frequency. Lately I've been using 88.7. There aren't any stations (of which I am aware) within the region which uses the frequency. If the XM receiver isn't plugged in, I have received some sound...perhaps a bleed over from a first adjacent.

Anyhow, I was at Giant Eagle on McKnight Road today. When I started my car - before I plugged the receiver in - I heard Christmas music and Joe DeNardo. It was weak, but clear as a bell. The Hartwood Light Display is 8 or 9 miles from this Giant Eagle. Hmmm...
