Fwd: Re: Query: Since WEIM Faces the Ocean, Why Does It Power Down At Night?

["Laurence Glavin" <lglavin@lycos.com>]

 In former times, AM stations operated at specific steps with regard 
to transmitter power: 250, 500 watts; 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 KW.
Now you could ask for 2780 watts and get it. Thus WEIM seemingly 
could go for whatever output would help along Rt 2 ESE without adding
new towers or interfering with 1280's in NYC, Maine, or the aforementioned
adjacencies.  BTW, doesn't WRNI's new daytime output crowd WJDA now?

B ut it would interfere with 1270 in Dover NH, wouldn't it? -and 1290 in 
Providence?  They're not exactly in the main lobe, so it would appear it 
would be OK for WEIM to do 5kw at night.

Or perhaps best reason of all.... they don't WANT any more power.  Since most 
commuting is toward Boston, (in their lobe), the 1 kw would be (or WAS) 
sufficient.  They would have to add more towers to go 5kw at night.  Perhaps 
not worth it.
