"The new phone book's here! The new phone book's here!" with props to
Steve Martin.  (But out of respect for my buddy Dave, I'll leave out the
name of the movie from which that line is taken.) <GG>  Sorry Capt.,
couldn't resist.  On point, I remember seeing the WAY out of date, even
for that time, WOTW sales office number for a LOWELL office that had
closed EONS ago.  I also recall when WLLH moved from 4 B'way to Church
Street, that't just after WSSH moved to WOObin. WSSH news had to sit in
Lowell and report over a loop line in Woburn. WSSH's "Public Inspection
File" was literally in a small filing cabinet in a broom closet next to
the AP machine.  SHortly after, they moved the news booth to Woburn.  I
think that was all during a period of transitional rules changes with
FCC.  At the WSSH console, to the left, was a box that connected to that
line.  A red light would turn on when the remote was activated.
