Follow-up To Fybush.com Reference To Waterlogged FM's

[Rogerkola]

I just received a phone call at the station (WESX 1230) from one of our 
Boxford listeners asking why she could only hear WCRB in the evenings this 
week, and when she woke up in the morning there was only static on 102.5 
from her BOSE radio.  Thanks to you guys I sounded semi intelligent, 
explained the water damage to the antenna, but I was at a loss as to why she 
couldn't hear it in the morning.

It might have something to do with their temporary antenna or location?
