W1XAL shortwave station in Boston

"Pure Speculation, not for historical purposes"

The 1938 article in the MIT Tech newspaper indicating an open house for the
members of the MIT Radio Society at W1XA and W1XAL at 70 Brookline Ave. was
VERY specific as to the limited space available for a meeting at that
address...perhaps it was just the local transmitting studio with a remote
"down the street"?
