I hate Early Morning DX-- Ripping my signal apart

What am I to do about this? I am on the clearest frequecy here, and every morning Ive been Hammered on by a 17,000 Watt NPR station 150 miles away. Usually during the day, their is nothing on this frequency, but every morning I get smashed by this station, and it makes my signal only go a few houses down, whenever I usually get 1/4 to 1/2 mile. Does anyone else have this problem with fm, and what can I do about it, I dont really have a better frequency to use, and plus, what few listeners I do get are used to tuning into 88.3
 
You just have to live with it. My nighttime signal is destroyed by a station in Tijuana; it blasts into the Puget Sound region like a local. There's nothing I can do for now except wait for summer and shorter nighttime hours.

I know it's a pain, however "Legally" a part 15 device must not cause any interference to fcc liscensed devices and must accept any interference from any liscenced devices. That's why i'm an internet only station, (not to mention i can't afford a tx a the moment)lOL
