[BC] RFI stalls cars near Empire State Building

[R A Meuser]

A lot has changed. There are a number of UHF DTV stations there that did 
not previously exist in addition to almost every other FM and TV station 
in the city. The few not on Empire are a few blocks away at 4 Times 
square. Most of those antennas have a better than average downward dump.

Also, the RFID technology used in cars now is relatively new.
