I now wonder if the reception problems of my Sirius/XM satellite radio
is somehow related to this. My perfect satellite radio reception of over
1 year mysteriously became crappy two weeks ago. It still receives some
stations flawlessly but most cut in and out every 3 words making them
unlistenable. Anyone one else experiencing recent satellite radio
reception issues?

Having owned a half dozen satellite radios I'd suspect the antenna system
first. Also, look for new cellular installations. 1.9 GHz mobile phones
will shut down satellite radios in the vicinity.
