Narrative:
Close proximity of TRACON antennae to runway 27 has been idented as cause of frequent radio bleedover onto ground and tower frequencys. Today, it was outrageous. Going down intersecting runway, we would never have heard an abort call. FAA must fund moving towers to prevent runway incursion. Bleedover occurred on both ground and tower frequencys.
