990/Providence (Re: Worst 50k's)

["Peter Q. George" <radiojunkie1@yahoo.com>]

     I have heard that the 990 site is located atop a "Superfund"
toxic-waste dump.  I am sure visiting there could give anyone a
"healthy GLOW" :) !  What a crappy signal.  What a crappy station. 
IMHO, of course. (Yecccch !)

NOT surprised !!  I am sure the "fishies" in Narragansett Bay are
getting a fine signal.  But, their buying power is somewhat limited,
wouldn't you say ? :)
