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

["Gavin B. Burt" <prospect@email.msn.com>]

Dear Peter and all,

    This possible pirate was in stereo, no doubt.  I do agree that being
only 400 kilohertz from WRVE would keep this dead carrier station from being
fully-sanctioned.

    I will be checking my radio everyday in Troy for this pirate, and will
keep Boston-Radio-Interest subscribers and North East Radio Watch informed
of any developments.
