I ignored the antenna height info because I don't have a good understanding
how it all fits into the surrounding terrain and assumed the heights would be
about the same.  Wrong, the difference is substantial,
199 meters above average terrain for WLKB, vs.
351 for WCRB.  I should've noticed that!  I assumed WCRB was broadcasting
from a tower outside their studios in Waltham, and I wasn't sure if the map at
http://www.radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=WCRB&service=FM&status=L&hours=U
was saying otherwise.  (Or how much faith to put into its data.)

Figured I wouldn't be able to get much by the DXers and others here. :-)

I don't see a post from dan.strassberg that should be here, but he noted that
both stations are full Class B FMs, and have the same effective power, so that
pretty much makes pointless exchanging transmitting locations.
