Globe articles on WCRB, WGBH

[Dave Doherty]

Hi Dan-

That's not the radio I was thinking of.  I ordered one to pick up in the 
store and got the confirming email. When I went to pick it up, they had no 
idea what it was. "Yeah, I know the computer says we have two, but... What 
is it again?" So I never got a chance to test that one.  But other reports 
are that they are pretty good.

I'm in Worcester, in a place that is not remotely line of sight to Boston.

I have a Directed aftermarket car radio hooked up to an attic antenna and my 
computer that does just fine on the Boston stations.

I just received three "Mighty Red" radios from Eric Rhoads of Radio Ink. I 
charged one up and plugged in the buds, and I was able to get the Boston 
Class B's in HD in my living room on the ground floor.  Not too shabby.

Maybe your receiver is being overwhelmed by blanketing interference from 
WGBH?
