Re: 99.9 dead carrier in Troy, N.Y.

Hi Gavin:
    It could be a "boot" (pirate).  Was it running stereo (pilot) ? 
Most "boots" are running in stereo now.  I don't think it is a
fully-sanctioned station due to the close proximity of WRVE/99.5 FM in
Schenectady.  They were probably testing.  It could provide for some
very interesting programming, taking into consideration how bland the
Albany-Schenectady-Troy market is at this time.  Keep us posted.  73
