[600MRG] 630m vs EVs(?)

[John Langridge]

Ive got a bunch of Tesla's in my neighborhood with home charging
stations and so far its not been a problem on 472.  Ive got high noise
on 136 but that's always been the case.  Whether it gets worse on 136
remains to be seen.

I need to ask some of those people if they have AM radios in their
Teslas and if so, how well do they work.  I don't have problems
listening to AM broadcast band here in my home.

73!
