Yes, I remember that station quite well. I used to live in Randolph, MA
(about 15 miles south of Boston) and got WKBR-FM quite well in 1970. Their
Top-40 format equalled in quality to some of Boston's best (WRKO,WMEX and
WKOX-FM). I was less than pleased that it switched to dentist music in
stereo as WZID ("The Wizard of Music") in 1971. A few of my engineer friends
said that WKBR-FM had a "ballsy" signal, virtually everywhere. I liked the
fact that, as a kid, my dad was able to punch in 95.7 in the car from
Randolph, MA to the Kancamangus Highway (near Conway, NH) and never lose
it. That trip took 3 hours and 180 miles. "Are we there, YET ?".
