It's also close to "home" as well.   Just try to tune in WMBR 88.1 as you 
drive down to Providence.  It disappears very fast to hash thanks to WLNE 6 
in Providence.   The terrain and WMBR's comparatively low HAAT don't 
help...but a lot of it is WLNE.

If you look at the non-comm band anywhere around Providence (as in, for 
20-40 miles at least), you'll notice that many of them are skewed towards 
vertical polarization.
