Roy,

   i spoke with WHOM's morning guy, Dean Rogers today.  after the usual dark 
humor about not being quite so literal with a "100,000 watt flame-thrower," he 
mentioned they'd be on 94.9 from "the Litchfield location."
   they did pull off the 93.9 switch for this morning.  for the regular 93.9 
listeners, it must've come as a bit of shock.  my advice to Dean was to add 
some edge to the intros and backsells if still on 93.9 in the 
morning... "coming up, more X-treme Lionel Richie."
    he also mentioned that 103.7 had a backup transmitter in a separate 
building at the top of the rock, and that they hoped to resume Mt.Washington 
transmission fairly soon.  but as far as 94.9 goes: it might be as late as May 
before any reconstruction can be undertaken. (that's just a presumption on the 
part of both of us; the description of the damage is indeed very devastating 
and extensive.)
