"Have you used different radios? Alot radios use simple RF stages which
can be damaged by static discharge. The input stage gets knocked out
but the radio still has enough gain to get some reception.
This sort of damage can go unnoitced because it doesn't affect the
internal ferrite antenna and the AM BC band still works fine.
As others have noted, the noise floor is now MUCH higher than it used to
be. "
At least I know SOMETHING in the SW environment
changed - the noise floor, and for whatever reason,
probably budgetary, they reuduced transmission power
on some of those stations.
