Re: Fw: WPTR's signal?

["Douglas J. Broda" <djbroda@mindspring.com>]

I can affirm that WPTR's night signal to the "near east" (East Greenbush,
Renssealer, Nassau, Schodack) of Albany is noticeably poorer than it was in
1978 when I moved to EG. It deteriorated between 1979 (when I moved to
Clifton Park) and 1987 (when I moved back to EG for a two-year stay.

The day signal may be slightly worse now, but not so much poorer
percentage-wise as the night.

Why, I have no clue. :)
