Re: WTOS signal

[Cooper Fox <fox893@yahoo.com>]

There's an Irving station on Rt 1 in Houlton(Maine)
that, if you park against the north facing wall, you
pick up WTOS crystal clear.  And yes, as teens, there
were times when we would park there just to listen to
WTOS.

Sid, was there a specific place in Caribou where ya
could get it?  or was it spotty all over?
