I know 1340 has been an albatross around the neck of its owners for the
past couple decades. I don't understand the simulcasting partnership,
though. A couple years ago, 1340 flipped from simulcasting WSRO to
simulcasting WEIM (1280 Fitchburg). Granted, there was some signal overlap
there (in fact there was discussion on-list about that very issue, I seem
to recall) but Fitchburg and Gardner make a much better tandem than Nashua
and Gardner. When did 1340 stop //1280?
