RE: NYC FMs..

["Michael P Fitzpatrick Jr." <fitzradio@the-spa.com>]

The problem with 97.1, is the (useless) translator W246AM pirched high up at
Mt Lincoln, in Pelham (Home to WAMH 89.3 and WFCR 88.5). 98.7 sometimes has
the problem of WXOD in Keene interfering. Other good trys are WCBS 101.1,
WNEW 102.7, and WAXQ 104.3.
