Rumba: no ratings, but ad money?

[Dan Strassberg]

WUNR's power increase will be accompanied by a SIGNIFICANT decrease in
radiation toward Nashua. WRCA's power increase will be accompanied by a
SIGNIFICANT decrease in radiation toward Derry. Both stations' new patterns
are FAR more restrictive to the north than are the current patterns. In
addition, WRCA will be moving five or so miles further from NH. WRCA, which
currently delivers an excellent signal to my QTH will deliver a poor signal
by day and will receive significant audible interference at night. WUNR's
already poor signal will deteriorate further. The improved signals will be
noticeable mainly in areas to the east of Oak Hill, and will be most
noticeable in Dorchester, Mattapan, Quincy, and Milton. Except for upscale
Milton, those are, of course, the areas that WUNR and WRCA target. Because
of its higher power, less restricitve patterns, and the greater distance of
its move, WKOX will experience the greatest improvements in its signal to
the east and north of Oak Hill.
