But I did tell. Unless the soil conductivity map is radically wrong, WSRO
should be directional both day and night. The day pattern should be nulled
away from WBET, but not severely. Or else WSRO should have paid off WBET to
directionalize during the day (also not severely). This option would have
made more sense as it would have improved WBET's coverage of its market,
which includes the South Shore. Were WSRO to have directionalized by day,
coverage of its primary market--MetroWest--would have suffered. I gather
that WSRO must have fudged its proofs of performance to show no overlap
where overlap existed, and WBET's engineering staff didn't pay attention, at
least until it was too late.
