Re: Interference issue

Maybe not anymore. WBIX's TX is in a fairly densely populated section of
Framingham and 1060 is only 30 kHz from WBZ. I doubt whether WBIX receives
as many complaints of interference as WWZN, but it may have passed WRKO.
Because of its use of half-wave towers, WBIX, with 40 kW (non-CH days),
produces an rms field at least as great as WRKO's despite WRKO's use of 25%
more power. At least the Framingham municipal incinerator is across the
street to the north of the WBIX site in the direction of the station's
strongest signal, and there is a pond to the south of the WBIX site. There
is nothing equivalent in the vicinity of the WWZN site, although the creek
or stream next to which the WWZN TX building is situated overflows its banks
from time to time, flooding out the TX building and the lower part of the
411 Waverley Oaks Rd Industrial Park parking lot, on which three of WWZN's
four towers are situated.

    1510 IS the most well-known interference-causer in the Boston area.
Much of WBZ's 1v/m range is over water.   WRKO & WEEI come in second and
third for interference.
