What I really meant to say was that once they go to their reduced
power signal during critical hours I can no longer get a listenable signal
in the Boston/Cambridge area.

The day-time only operation is probably one factor that caused
the demise of the WMEX 1060 talk format. Had Langer been
on a freqency where he could put out a decent 24/7 signal mabye
it would have work Of course that 1060 frequency has been problematical
in this area for a long time, for various reasons.

I didn't realize that the CP for the night time operation hadn't
been acted on yet. At one point didn't Langer file with the FCC
to run full power at night from another transmitter site?
