WLLH Lowell Transmitter Back On The Air

[Dan.Strassberg]

The Lawrence transmitter must deliver a listenable signal to most of
Lowell during the daytime--albeit not as strong a signal as the Lowell
transmitter would if it were on the air. At night, I suspect that a
large percentage of the listeners in Lowell could recognize that
something was amiss even though the program content probably wasn't
completely obliterated by the QRM. However, if someone were to call
the WAMG/WLLH offices in Charlestown after normal business hours,
would they be able to record a message for the Engineering Department?
Also, does WLLH maintain a local phone number in Lowell or Lawrence or
a toll-free number that is not a call-in line for talk shows? If not,
for a lot of people in the Merrimac Valley, the call would be a toll
call and probably not very many people would be willing to spend the
money on a toll call to report poor reception.
