KSTN 107.3 a new Bay Area FM!

I would think for some people with cheap radios (ex. clock radio) the pirate's signal would overwhelm reception of 106.9 and 107.7, especially if the pirate has a really strong signal.

With today's IF filters even the cheapest radios do pretty good at 2nd adjacent channel rejection. Assuming, of course, that the pirate is spectrally clean (and that's a stretch). When 104.9 was on the air with 3 KW from the hill above Fremont, reception of KFOG and KITS in Niles was fine on all but the worst 1970's era radios (think "Electrophonic" brand with built-in 8-track). The FCC's 2nd adjacent channel rules are really out of date considering today's technology.

Cuz that's what these markets really need. More stations! More slots for more cookie-cutter/syndicated/VT ... BS!
