Re: LPFM and translators

Again, I can't speak for Infinity's inaction but it's preposterous to suggest
that WMPG couldn't cover Portland with 1,111 watts at their Gorham TL given
modern receiving technologies.  I said so at the time (check the archives) and
I remain unshakable in that conviction.  The opinions of most people on this
list remind me of the time I complained to my local cable system about the
removal of Boston stations.  Their suggestion?  Move.  Very helpful...

Take care,
Chris, who may have to move inside 128 to hear Boston radio before long the way
things are headed
