We always had trouble with the WMEX night signal in Bedford.  In 
fact, I used to listen to it on my car radio while driving home at 
night, and the signal would fade as soon as I turned off the main 
road and onto the road to our neighborhood.  When the Red Sox moved 
to 1510 and channel 38 (whose signal also wasn't very good in Bedford 
at the time), my father wanted to know why a big-league team was 
dealing with minor-league stations.
