[Scan-DC] 88.5 KEOM from Mesquite TX is invading 88.5 WAMU on my car radio

[Andrew]

As long as I have been part of Scan-DC as well as when Ken Fowler had  
his Frequency Forum BBS I always have been meaning to get my ham  
license.

Knowing myself and the love of gadgets and electronics I would go a  
little crazy and buy the best out there and the biggest antenna I  
could find. This is the primary reason I have not done. The other  
resons,  I am just lazy and don't feeling like taking a test.
