Narrative:
There is a lot of bleed over on the CTAF frequency 123.00 at wdr (winder; GA) and others on the same frequency. So much so that it breaks squelch and it is very difficult to hear other traffic. This has been an issue for a few days now and nearly every pilot; and nearly every plane; has mentioned the interference. It sounds like a radio station; as there is music being played; but I have not been able to hear a station identification. Another pilot mentioned to me that they heard ninety four point something (94.??).
