Jim, I've done that a few years ago with the mobile and if I remember it was all over within their pattern.  If for instance i go to the East side of town the signal drops way off.  

I just checked these two radio stations and both are huge in my P3, but clean, must be digital because the sides are perfectly vertical, I imagine if a good spectrum analyzer were used I'd see some stuff on the sides.  I also checked 80 meters and this morning at 3AM I don't hear a thing, both on the 3 rd harmonic and the mix.  The band is very quiet except for atmospherics.
