I found today that, although I couldn't get WCRB in my motel room on my 
Sony 2010, I could get it on my car radio out in the parking lot.  As I 
drove around, it came in and out.

Incidentally, the reason I found this out isn't because I was trying to 
get WCRB out there.  It never occurred to me to try that, since I was 
assuming the signal didn't reach that far.  It was because I wanted to 
listen to WDRC-FM in Hartford, and I found it convenient to push the WCRB 
button and tune manually from there to 102.9.
