WUNR-AM signal Stronger

[Laurence Glavin]

Late last spring (remember spring?), after WUNR-AM 1600 tore down
its two relatively tall towers and began broadcasting from the 5-tower
array that will be the home of WUNR, WKOX, and WRCA, the signal
dropped like a stone.  The actual reading on my radio that displays 
relative signal strength became much weaker than adjacent WSMN-AM 1590, 
and other 1600's could be heard interfering with it even at midday (WWRL in NYC and
WHMP in Longmeadow, MA).  Of course, right now, the area is experiencing
cold, dry weather that often helps boost AM signal strength anyway,
with or without snow.  But today (Tuesday 12/9) WUNR came in not
only much better than usual, but it approximated WSMN better and seemed to 
squelch co-channel interference at midday (this some 30 miles due north
of Sawmill Brook Parkway). I don't know if this means that they're at
the fully-licensed 20K DA-1, but it if so, it seems to be the first "progress" 
that array has demonstrated in months.
