Re: Radio Free Allston at...1150?

[dan.Strassberg@att.net]

1580 is certainly the most credible frequency I've heard 
mentioned. Before what is now the 960 station in 
Fitchburg moved to 960, it was on 1580 with 1 kW-D ND. 
Allston-Brighton might be inside WNTN's 25 mV/m contour, 
but I can't imagine a 100-mW station on 1580 interfering 
with WNTN for more than a few feet. Also, if Radio Free 
Whatever operates mostly at night, WNTN won't even be 
on. As for WUNR, which is only 20-kHz away, its signal 
is a lot weaker in Allston-Brighton than WNTN's is. 
Still, if any station is going to protest, I'd think it 
would be WUNR. As for co-channel interference, CBJ, 
which was the dominant station on 1580, is now dark. 
WLIM from the eastern end of Long Island (a high-power 
daytimer with reduced CH power) can be heard here 
sometimes and could be an occasional problem. But heck, 
100 mW on 1580 won't carry for more than a few blocks 
even with a good antenna and no co-channel interference.
