Then they follow up with Donna Summer "On the Radio"....a theme? (he said
sarcastically)

Report from East Derry....about 7.5 miles due east of Londonderry High.
My DX-398 gives me a choice!

Point the antenna due E and 'BLM comes in clear...about an 8 on my meter w/
no interference from WLLO-LP

Point the antenna due W and WLLO-LP comes in almost as clear...about a 6 on
my meter w/ virtually no interference (slight crackle). At 8:16PM they're
playing Queen's Radio Ga Ga....(I wonder if it's a continuous re-play?)

SO I'm in just about the perfect spot to choose what I want for my 102.9
(no, I don't get WPXC...although 1 or 2 days each summer I do pick it up..)

BTW: They (LLO-LP) then played a song that opens to KHJ Los Angeles jingle
("On the AM Radio" sampling the song track for "Mr Big Shot".....)

WLLO-LP 102.9 is on the air in Londonderry NH. The grand official opening
is scheduled for this Saturday. It's run by or out of Londonderry High
School.
LHS is about 1/2 mile from the geographic center of Londonderry.


Transmission pattern seams to be directional (north/south), although that
may be due to the terrain. Londonderry is 8 miles tall and 4.5 miles wide.
1.5 miles to the east the signal gets clobbered by WBLM Portland (this may
be partially due to the fact that the land to the east drops off greatly
in altitude and may be in a signal shadow. However, six miles to the north
it provides a rugged signal, even on the other side of a hill that should
block a good part of the signal.

The WLLO-LP signal now prevents my listening to WBLM Portland at my home,
5.0 miles NNE of the High School.
