Phooey...it's NOT trumped enough by WHRB;  the latter's signal is a mess
in the Merrimack Valley due to WUBB as well as on the North Shore.  On those
rare occasions when ratings for the Seacoast Region of NH appear, WUBB's
number is minimal for inclusion inasmuch as it competes with WOKQ.  The
real tragedy is the fact that Harvard was so lackadaiacal about its licensed station
that they let an outlet go on the air on 95.3 in Southern Maine in the first place.
At that time, they were broadcasting from the stick atop the bank building in Harvard
Square.  If they had moved to Murray St. Medford when WEEI-FM vacated that site, 
there probably wouldn't be a WUBB!
