AH, its the religious Greenfield translator, W288AZ, is part of the "Harvest
Religious Networks", and transmits using a Scala antenna from the WHAI-FM
transmitter site southwest of it's city of license, Greenfield, MA. (The
future home to WRSI 93.9 also). Also at that location is W240AL which last I
heard was silent.

They might have patched whatever problem the audio cabinet was having in
their transmitter but I can assure you, they have not replaced the
transmitter yet.

If I knew who WCCH's CE was, I  would love to ask him the same question
myself. I like to hear WQBJ Cobelskill (Soon to be St Johnsbury) NY, via DX
and haven't been able to because of that. My guess it is someone at the
college who runs the station, although the little 13 watter has a pretty
good signal for a class "D" station from it's Soldier's Home transmitter
site.
