*** My experience here is that when either of the above conditions prevail, the mixing products from the stronger locals are intensified. Those I can usually hear become more pronounced, and some I only hear under such conditions. Since this is based on either indoor loops or car radio whips, the effect comes either from the transmitter location or some other remote location. -=-=-=- Wonder if that is from the water creating virtual mixing diodes out of some metal to metal junctions? Aluminum downspouts, metal fences and the like. I can't say as I have ever noticed that around here.
