Dan and all-I'm not at all surprised WROW shoots up and down the Hudson
Valley.  At least at night, they have to protect WEZE and either (or both)
WARM, 590, Scranton, Pa. or WMBS, 590, Uniontown, Pa.  That doesn't include
what they protect during the day.  A few nights ago, I tuned in to WROW in
Catskill, and they were booming through on the car radio.
