Nahant Massachusetts, my home town, is of course a bustling metropolis of shopping centers,
major highways, and skyscrapers. Naah, just pulling your leg. It is, of course, by area
the smallest town in the Commonwealth (one square mile) and boasts about 3,600 people.
According to http://www.fybush.com/nerw.html (Scott Fybush's NorthEast Radio Watch)
WESX is looking into the possibility that this spot of land in the Bay State
could be the new COL for WESX.

Surely the high Spanish-speaking population of Nahant will be glad to be the city of
license for WESX, eh? (Kidding.) Well, it'll help Principle Broadcasting get closer to Boston.
They'd be using the WLYN tower. I guess the FCC said that making it "WESX, Saugus"
wouldn't work because they couldn't cover all of that community (at night) but
making it "WESX, Nahant" would, I guess.

So could that little peninsula of land be, at least on paper, the home to
the mighty WESX? (A town with no middle or high school, no traffic lights...) :)
