The building of the transmitter began in April of 1929 in the part of 
Quincy called Squantum, and created a giant controversy, with the stations' 
signals interfering with everything else Quincy residents were trying to 
receive on their radios.  To this day, long after the stations moved out, 
there are still pieces of that transmitter embedded in people's yards or 
driveways-- I have scanned photos if anyone wants to see.
