Incidentally, please note that the OP met all the requirements on my

offer a clue as to how many listeners called the station.

He was in his car - I do not initiate calls when driving, even hands-free,
voice-activated calls. I will take calls (very briefly) on rare occasion
when I know the caller and know the call is actually immediately important
- and then I will pull over. And I will certainly NOT go through searching
for a number while driving.

Come on!

I really didn't think it was necessary to lecture on how to safely
place a call from inside an automobile. I rather assume that most
drivers are familiar with the local laws concerning yacking while
driving and understand that distracted driving is a really bad idea.

Out of all the points I made on analyzing possible causes for what had
happened, you pick what I would consider a minor point or curiosity
item at best. I do wish you wouldn't do that. However, since you
want to switch topic from how FM modulation works to mobile phone
etiquette, I'll play along, especially since you reinforced my point
about nobody calling the station.

Only moving drivers, equidistant from both stations on 88.1MHz, would
have heard the problem. Since these drivers are unlikely to call the
station while moving, I consider it even less likely that they would
have bothered to make the call after parking the car, because the
problem would no longer be heard while stopped. They would probably
suspect that the problem was "fixed" by the station and that it was no
longer necessary to call the station.

Y'all are making this far too complicated and inventing explanations other than a simple sync issue within the station itself. Could be as simple as a tech replacing a piece of equipment and dropping a jumper into the wrong jack. 10 minutes later - after the phones started ringing off the hook - it got fixed.

Offered before.

a) Does not require any special equidistant spacing.
b) Does not require a 90,000 mile bounce.
c) Requires no coincidences.
d) Explains what occurred.
e) And is as likely as any other explanation.
f) And you neatly sidestepped why a *driver* would not make such a call.
g) While also ignoring the fact that the OP might simply not care about calling at all - and just asked a simple question.

Sheesh!
