New Stiles Hill Tower (WUNI)

["Kyle Stephanos" <majorradiofreak@excite.com>]

Hello all.
I am a little confused after reading this update from Scott Fybush's
NorthEast Radio Watch. What exactly is planned with that enormous tower that
WUNI uses? Why would they jump off that one and head over to a different as
yet un built one?

Also, would WAAF's new somewhat improved signal over Boston create any
spacing conflict with 106.7FM on the Pru?

Best Regards!
