The interesting thing about the NYC sharetimers... WEVD-AM
amd WPOW-AM...
they operated with separate transmitters.  WPOW had sticks 
on Staten Island aimed NNE and it BOOMED into the
Boston area.  On several occasions, whhen I drove through
the WCRB-AM null, WPOW was clearly audible, although
I could see the blinking lights atop the 3 towers then in
use!
