Its the same here in California for the most part.  On my car radio, I get a muddled hum from the combination of all the stations plus the garbage from whichever ones are slightly off frequency.  In the house, there's no hum but it sounds like 6000 schizophrenics after snorting something.  Aah, the good old days, when I could tune in Kansas City on GY and actually make out all the words...

I began DXing from California in the late 60's, and at times in the 70s
and 80's while stationed there I continued to DX. My observations on GY
frequencies were similar to Bob's. If one station faded out, then another
one usually faded up. There might be multiple stations, but one station was
usually dominant. Here in North Carolina, the GY frequencies seem to be
nothing more than noise. I've had occasional times when a GY frequency
yielded up a station for a log, but usually nothing more than noise.
