Re: More on WPTR

That was sure true when the TX was in Quincy and they 
ran 50 kW-D/5 kW-N DA-2. Once the State St South office 
complex was built to the west of the TX site, calling it 
half WITS was incredibly charitable. The numbers say it 
was 1/10 WITS (5 kW is 1/10 of 50 kW), but the effect 
where I live was more like 0.01 WITS. Between 
(literally) WTOP and WWKB on the first-adjacent channels 
and co-channel CJRS, WNLC and others, the signal in 
Arlington Heights was completely inaudible at night. Of 
course, the TX move to Waltham and the increase in night 
power to 50 kW corrected that situation in the western 
suburbs, but killed the signal on the North Shore.
