WLLH-AM's Lowell Transmitter Still Off-the-air

[Laurence Glavin]

Even with gas at "2.08/gallon, I made a special trip to
Lowell this morning to see if the WLLH-AM transmitter was still down;
it is.  (I was variously able to pick up the 1380s in Woonsocket,
RI and Porstmouth, NH within sight of the WLLH tower.  The 
Lawrence stick (usually 'stick' is used metaphorically,
but in this case it's fairly accurate) still provided a pretty
good signal along the swollen-but-not-over-its-banks
Merrimack River in Lowell.  (BTW, there are people in
Methuen whose houses are within spitting distance of the river
under normal conditions;  now the water is lapping against
their back door.  How did the builders get permits in the 
first place?)  So the question arises:  has Mega figured 
that the overwhelming preponderance of their listeners are
in Lawrence, so they might as well not waste electricity 
with the Lowell transmitter, since they're selling out anyway?
Remember...WLLH/Lawrence is technically not the licensed operation,
Lowell is!
