somehow at 7 AM it doesn't seem right

Funny thing about 1520 - it's often much more listenable at night in, 
say, Springfield or Worcester than it is here in Rochester. We're right 
at the not-so-sweet spot where KB's considerable groundwave interacts 
with short skywave (~ 75 miles), and it's often a messy hash at night.

My personal quest has been to get Entercom to put the Sox on its little 
1 kW teapot here in town, WROC 950, which runs an automated progressive 
talk lineup similar to KB's, with similarly nonexistent ratings.

Walk around our ballpark here on a nice summer evening and you'll see 
just as many Red Sox hats and T-shirts (if not more, sometimes) than 
Yankees...yet the Yankees get massive radio, TV and newspaper coverage 
here and we Sox fans have to settle for table scraps and WTIC 
skywave...sigh...
