I tried tuning it in with our gear here at Broadcast Signal Lab in 
Medfield.  We were able to get a pretty good null on WCRB, but WCDJ is just 
too far away...30 miles of Cape Cod Bay and 35 miles of land to the shore 
is just too far when WCRB is barely 15 miles away.  FWIW, we can usually 
get WORC 99.9 in Webster here in the office without too much trouble (that 
is, when co-channel WHHB in Holliston is off the air in the mornings).

Hey Mike - where were you trying to tune it in from?   IIRC WCDJ has never 
broadcast at its licensed height or power...probably due to tower 
restrictions in Truro (I know from our experience with cellphone towers 
that the Upper Cape is hell on tower construction).
