It could be your radio, but probably it's not. It's more likely atmospheric conditions. AM long-range reception does change from season to season-- that's what makes it so interesting. WTIC does do an antenna switch, but it's much later than 4:30. The time varies from month-to-month, but it's never that early. What do other folks think?
