Yeh it's hard to get in 99.5 on my alarm clock or my stereo at work. i'm on the NW side as well and local reception (except in my car) sucks. It has to do with the 101.5 pirate station. It must be close to my house because my '74 Pioneer SX 636's signal strength meter hits the side, i mean it's locked in.
