Re: WBZ Reception Is Worsening

[Jibguy@aol.com]

WBZ may not want to go with 50kw at the studio site.  It would likely 'light 
up the whole place'.  -  But also, it's typical when a directional station 
goes temporarily non-directional, the non-D power is always significantly 
less.   There are likely no exceptions to the rule, even though as you, Joe, 
point out that there are seemingly no other stations to be interefered with.  
 The only longshot I can think of is the AM station in Bridgwater, Nova 
Scotia on 1000. (CJCW?)

 auxiliary transmitter?  Being a clear-channel station, I would think it 
 would be licensed to use full power, even from its auxiliary transmitter.  
 I realize that the main transmitter uses a pattern that nulls to the east, 
 but that's just the Atlantic Ocean.  Or are there European signals on that 
 frequency that WBZ has to protect?
