Freakin' odd. Did anyone else notice?
I was driving into work and kept getting bleed-over from a classical music station onto my local NPR station (90.3 WCPN). There's a 90.3 classical music station somewhere in Canada, but I've never heard it bleed over badly enough to make it difficult to listen.
So I knocked the station down to 90.1 to see if there was a new station or something. NPR, clear as a bell. I thought maybe my radio was going bad, but I left it there to listen. The story came to an end and they went to local announcements.
Q 90.1, Delta College. That's in the Tri-cities, NORTH OF SAGINAW. Clear as a bell.
So I pushed it up to 90.5. NPR, not WCPN. Clear. 90.7, a different NPR. 90.9, Urban Contemorary, that's not a local station. 91.1 is a local college station.
89.9 - Classical music, not local. 89.7 is WKSU, NPR, it's usually staticy, today, loud and clear. 89.5, more music.
There was some signal on EVERY station on my dial. Something in the ionosphere? Sunspots?

Maybe a military test of some new Star Wars program?
