Hi Jeff, do you think a beam antenna would help? I've used one in parallel with my omnidirectional antenna before.

The RF signal is strong, but Fairfax is a simulcast system, which means that there are near-simultaneous transmissions from separate towers that interfere with one another at my receiver locations.  There is actually one location (Falls Rd and Wootton Pkwy) where I can receive Fairfax transmissions, which is evidently shielded from all but one tower.
