Scott, on the other hand, I clearly heard an annoying sound under WTWP/WTOP on my car radio (in a 2004 Dodge Stratus). I spoke with other people who also heard it on their car radios. My kids told me to turn it off because it was so annoying. We concluded it sounded a bit like the 17-year old cicadas that came old a couple of years ago. It is my understanding it had to do with bandwidth issues and asymmetry involved with directional antennas. That is a serious issue for certain stations, something that is not easily dismissed.
