WSYY Tower in Jeopardy

[Scott Fybush]

They borrowed my facts, certainly - but facts aren't copyrightable, and 
they changed my wording enough that I didn't recognize it myself. No harm, 
no foul...though I wonder how a newspaper reporter even knows what the heck 
"A" and "C2" mean?

I've heard WSYY in Bangor, but only with some effort and a good receiver. 
It's certainly not even close to being a local in that already massively 
over-radioed market; it can't even compare to rimshotters like WDME and WHMX.
