Yes, that was after I graduated, but I remember knowing about it.  I think it may have been in 
the planning stages when I was still there. They also moved the transmitter to the top of one 
of the Orchard Hill dorms, up on the hill.  

When I was a freshman, my parents came up to visit and had a good AM-FM portable radio 
with them.  They said they first started to hear the station around Pelham, just one town 
away from Amherst.  A few years ago after a station reunion, I kept listening while driving 
home, and the signal was listenable until Sturbridge.
