   Have you consider interference?  A car is in the way one minute not the   
   next.  IS there any relationship between the presence or disappearance   
   of a station and signal strength?   i.e. the ones appearing and   
   disappearing are weak station.   
      
   I have seen similar things on my own computer but assigned it to the   
   variance of the signal transmission through the local environment and   
   the change micro weather.   Some one turns on a motor, a TV, Microwave, etc
