While sitting in the car in Lakewood yesterday I scanned 88.1 and heard RD. I put on 1560AM from NYC and found that it matched perfectly. Is WYGG playing RD now or was it some pirate???

Both XM and Sirius receivers have built in FM modulators which can braodcast about 500 feet or more. I know for a fact that Sirius broadcasts Radio Disney and I'm pretty sure XM does also. Some of these have only a few frequencies to choose from, while others give you the pick of the FM dial to find a relatively clear frequency
Probably someone near where your car was parked was listening to that channel.

Happens to me all the time in Trenton--I hear short blasts of various kinds of music while listening to WNJT in the car.

I pulled in to a parking spot near a senior citizens home in a
town I will leave unmentioned. I was listening to XM with the
modulator set to 88.1 MHz. I experienced interference. I turned
the XM receiver off. I then hear a comedy bit filled with the
most foul of obscenities. One of the old folks must have been
having a jolly time.

Not all of 'em.
I have an XM SkyBox and an XM built-in car receiver. No FM modulators at all.
I also must say that the sound quality on the SkyBox and built-in car receiver are FAR superior to the sound on the MyFi/SkyFi.

Did you see a car parked nearby with kids in it? If so, then its probably a satellite radio.<P ID="signature">______________

He did say it "matched up perfectly"
So, if it was a true, real-time match...Id be willing to bet it wasnt Satellite.
The sat signal is 20 seconds behind the terrestrial counterparts due to uplink.
You could be right, there are a lot of X factors that the original poster didn't make mention of. Put a gun to my head, and I'd agree here. But, just trying to keep it real.<P ID="signature">______________
I've done it all...HOO HOO...tell 'em, Fred!
