NERW: 'UMB CP for 'PAA slot; 6/15 for ESPN?

[Bob Nelson]

By "repeater", do you mean the current WNEF transmitter in Amesbury, or that
WUMB would get to put up a repeater in Andover? From Scott's bit in NERW
it sounds like it's the former--a power increase for the Amesbury
repeater...which
would then send more power toward Haverhill, Andover, etc.

If it indeed means WNEF goes from 470w to 1,000, I'm assuming that the
direction null
would still protect Salem. Then again it might also mean even more
encroachment of
WMWM's signal area by the UMass repeater...

"...WUMB wasted no time applying for more power at repeater station
WNEF (91.7 Newburyport) after the FCC deleted WPAA (91.7 Andover) a
few months back. WNEF now holds a CP to go from 470 watts to a
kilowatt, loosening its directional pattern to send more power west
towards Haverhill."
