More Western Mass radio

["A. Joseph Ross" <lawyer@world.std.com>]

This morning, I went to the tourist center across the street from my 
motel in South Deerfield, to get breakfast.  And I discovered that 
the studios of PWVQ, Pioneer Valley Country, was located there.  
Their van parked in front said WPVQ with three frequencies.  I assume 
they don't remember the other call letters except for legal IDs, if 
then.  I believe that WPVQ is actually licensed to Turner's Falls, 
which, like Hyannis and Chestnut Hill, isn't really a town, just a 
village in the town of Montague.

Later on, I listened in my car to WARE (They ID Ware-Sturbridge) at 
1250 AM, still doing oldies.  And it occurred to me, how did it 
happen that WARE is at 1250 and WHAI is at 1240, so close together?  
I listened to WARE as I was driving up from South Deerfield to 
Greenfield, and it didn't fade so much as break up from co-channel 
interference as I approached Greenfield.

I'm now in Brattleboro, VT, where earlier today, I passed by the 
studios of WSSH-AM & FM.
