I remember in the early 1970s visiting some friends in Brimfield and 
discovering that we could get a fairly good signal (only a little 
snow) on WCDC on a small portable that I had brought for my friend to 
install a new filter capacitor. 

On the other hand, in the 1960s, at UMass Amherst, which is in the 
valley, we couldn't generally get WCDC, except in my senior year, 
when I moved to the new high-rise dorms.  There, we got a clear 
signal on WCDC, and I remember watching a televised debate for 
governor of New York on that station.  I also saw Howard Tupper, the 
weatherman, whom I remembered seeing in the 1950s on WRGB and hearing 
on WGY.
