All-classical 99.5

[Peter Q. George]

Is WNCK running Stereo?  And would they being fed via over the air (99.5) or via other means (fiber, STL or satellite)?  The reason I ask is.... isn't there a 99.5 "God squad" translator on the Cape already? I'm sure it would impede the terrestrial signal from 99.5/Lowell.  Just curious....
