(I once heard Quiver's voice, too.) We know that Stern is on satellite radio now, so why would the conditions explained allow me to hear him? Someone in that neighborhood has a satellite radio that uses 88.3 to transmit the audio into a regular radio. IOW you're listening to a (very low powered!) pirate station. All the portable satellite receivers have built-in FM transmitters so you can plop it in your car and use it without having to modify your car radio. I'm sure the power is low enough to be legal. |
