Ah OK a trick question no less

Turn about is fair play -- (but not too tricky)

On an AM radio -- one hears a station broadcasting on the tuned
frequency -- but also another station is heard that is broadcating on an
entirely different frequency !!!

Ignoring a strong adjacent channel station -- how is this possible ???

Keyboard mired in the political rants here (;-)

Well, it was a trick question, but you got it right.

There was a potential second answer (maybe more) which has to do with the
phrasing I used which said I was one mile from the campus, and could see
the
antenna. Well, maybe the antenna was far away (on a mountain top) and I
was
out-of-range of the signal.

But my thinking in posing the mind-twister was that I didn't know the FCC
had
actually granted three licenses for 87.9 (two translators and KSHR), and
only
noticed while doing a search of the FCC database.
