RE: WBZ-AM Does Antenna Switch During Keller
I believe that was when the neighborhood lost power and we were likely
transitioning to generator power. The Brighton/Allston area had numerous
power hits during the later part of last week and through the weekend.

Subject: WBZ-AM Does Antenna Switch During Keller
Yesterday (08/10) I was listening to WBZ-AM at 7:55 am when they
transitioned from a news story to Jon Keller's commentary. Just
then, Jon's voice began to waver like a very superannuated soprano...
but he wasn't having vocal difficulties. WBZ went into the kind of
rapid short-wave alterations in loudness that happens when two
transmitters are on at the same time. Therefore, I deduce that they
were either switching from auxiliary-to-main or main-to-auxiliary
transmitters at that moment. So some kind of work is being done in Hull.
