That would be my best bet.   Here in *historic* Lowell we catch WBOS as
loud and clear as ANY of the FM-128s.  But then again, isn't that giving
the owners a bit too much credit with regards to committing to a format? 
(Particularly given the checkered past of that freq...  ;-)     A question
could be if there is any plan for a translator for 99.5 (Andover) closer to
Boston?  Bill O'Neill
