Charles,
Sounds like a good plan. Using a smaller, non amplified antenna may be your best bet. Are you able to receive these phantom stations on your other receiver?

The Magnum Dynalab tuners are very sensitive, so they make excellent long distance performers. The downside is they are susceptible to overloading by strong nearby stations. You're living in an RF jungle! There may be other tuner options that would work better in your specific circumstance.

One way to tell if you have strong nearby station is a program called FM fool. You enter your address and it gives you a list of stations from strongest to weakest.

Tom
