My '95 aspy does the same thing. Radio stations seem to break up a little bit. I've seen it mentioned on here from time to time. I think some of the time what I mistake as a breakup is the wind effecting the sound but sometimes it is unmistakably breaking up where I don't think it should. Curious to see if there are more out there like this.

Sometimes the cable gets pinched or chafed. Check your antenna with an ohmmeter. There should be continuity from the center pin on the plug to the antenna whip. There should be no continuity from the pin to ground. You can also stick a five or six foot piece of wire into the center of the antenna cable socket to act as a temporary antenna to see if there's any difference.
