Thats because by design, you weren't supposzed to pick
it up.  ;-0

990AM in RI is highly directional.

It reminds me of WUNR in Brookline.

Growing up in the suburbs, I would always see WUNR 
listed in the Globe, etc....but I could never pick it
up.

A long time ago, I recall that 990AM put a pretty good
signal over downtown Providence.  

I believe the main lobe of the signal extends from
Burreville, RI Southeast over Providence and continues
Southeast.

The old days had WLKW 990AM recieving DX reports from
Bermuda.

If you look at the direction of Bermuda from RI, and
imagine the Southeast signal, you can see how that
just might be possible!
