Just lost my grandma, at age 96, may she rest in peace, so I'm kind
of pre-occupied with that. But as I understand it, WERS was indeed
the first 10 watt educational FM to get on the air in Massachusetts,
and maybe even the first in New England-- several others were
licensed but didn't get on the air till later. WERS did a dedication
ceremony on 2 November 1949 and began regular broadcasts on 14
November 1949. WERS got a power boost and a dial position change in late 1950.
