Are you at the fringe of these stations, or is the FCC's method to figure
the interference defective (as I have for some time suspected)?  Be sure
to
file a complaint of interference with the FCC.  LP stations are on the air
subject to not causing interference.  You could end up forcing them to get
another channel.

Let us know.
