In fact, this very problem was brought to my attention years ago while I was
running 30 foot AGL FM field strength measurements on Long Island, using a
remote truck I had rented from a station in Philadelphia.  Some guy in
Suffolk County, who was out mowing his front lawn, noticed the truck,
started acting suspicious, and came over to see what I was up to.   Seems he
was a hardcore Pacifica fan and wanted to know why a sappy music station in
Wilmington was allowed by the FCC to blow away WBAI, "the only station worth
listening to", so I attempted to explain temperature inversions.  But I'm
not sure I convinced him this was not evidence of a right-wing conspiracy.
