There is nothing on the radio in that area either (to make this post
somewhat radio related!).


It's funny, that Mobile station is still there and that is where we
get our gas! This is like a dead zone for radio, even when conditions
are right, I can't seem to pick up the elusive stations.


Every time I have driven thru that area, it has been a dead zone for radio
reception. There just seems to be VERY little available on AM and FM
there. I remember one Saturday afternoon in the fall I was listening to a
Gator football game while driving on I-95 North. You can catch it on
various stations all the way up the east coast of Florida EXCEPT in the Hobe
Sound area. Weird.
