I am guessing one of two things: a.) Keith was listening to a pirate (could
it have been the We ate Hot Dogs for Lunch guys from Braintree??); or more
likely b.) he picked up a station through a tropo opening or an eskip. (Is
that what the FM DXing folks call them?) There is no way a station could be
out in Auburn anywhere near that 107.5 frequency, because of WAAF.

Then again, maybe WAAF went COUNTRY? No, I am just in the middle of a bad
dream. :-)
