Agreed WCCM has a great signal with 1KW on 800 than WNNW's 5KW on 1110.

I always thought it was funny that Costa bought a station with a
transmitter in SALEM, NH....had studios in METHUEN and target audience
in LAWRENCE.  

They may have 5,000watts....but most of it covers cows and trees. With a
hard null north.  You can hear them in Salem....Methuen too...but they
always had a hard time in Lawrence.   They had a null to the south to
protect WHIM

Full Time?  I think/thought they just had a pre-sunrise and post-suset
authority....  Not a full-time liscence, per se.

Also, as far as Transworld Radio in Bonaire with their 500,000 KW TX....
I believe they have shut down the 800 Khz service...and only operate on
SW now.....
