Are they any other synchronous AMs other than LLH left?  (BTW, the Lawrence
xmtr is often not on in daytime.  Not sure why.)  Also, there used to be
some sort of *device* to help the two xmtrs operated in sync better but it
was removed.  There is a big zone of interference in sections of E.Dracut,
Methuen and parts of the COLs.  The 250w night power of the past likely was
a better scenerio.  Perhaps the 1 kW (640erp) Lowell site covers enough of
the area at night that they cut the Law. xmtr.

On another note, are there any more time-sharing concerns for non-comm FMs
who are on less than 12 hrs. per day?  Or has that gone the way of round
pots.
