I doubt this minor change to WERS will have any impact to WEVO.  In
fact, I just read the application, and it is clear that, as far as the
FCC is concerned, this change will have *no* impact on WEVO.  WERS is
requesting a waiver allowing it to receive more interference from WEVO
near Andover, Mass., well outside WEVO's predicted 60 dBu service
area.  The consulting engineer notes that, using a propagation model
which is believed to be more accurate, this interference is only a
theoretical possibility because of inaccuracies in the FCC's standard
FM propagation model and does not occur in reality.
