WEEI 103.7 signal

[David Tomm]

Plus, don't forget about WPKQ on Mount Washington but again, little of 
that travels south to interfere with WEEI-FM.  In fact, the next time 
you drive south out of the White Mountains, put your radio on 103.7.  
Depending on reception conditions, elevation changes and bends in the 
road, WKNE, WPKQ and WEEI-FM will blow in and out as you drive.  Kind 
of neat, actually.
