Re: Gap-filling simulcasts? (Was Re: MESSAGE ID: 1EC610858)

When WKOX was doing talk formats a few years ago (Gene Burns broadcasting via
ISDN line from San Francisco), I used to listen to them all the time at work
in Cambridge and they came in loud and clear. I was very disappointed when
they eliminated their talk format.

         If the WKOX C.P. gets built, that would be the way to fill in gaps
 in Metro West for any station that needs it, in a big way. It would help
 WKOX in the downtown Boston area, where, Dan Strassberg previously
 suyggested, its signal may not be that great.
         On the question of what simulcast combinations could provide good
 fill-ins of each others' gaps, even the current WKOX (still just 1 kW
 night, I believe) and WNFT come to mind, although the combined nighttime
 coverage area probably would still look something like an oval with the
 long ends east-west and they'd have nothing going south of an east-west
 line through, let's say, Brockton at best >>
