Oh No, Not Again! WKOX-AM Stronger?

[Laurence Glavin]

Because of the cold weather and snow cover, several AM's were coming in
with slightly stronger signals today at midday(Thursday, 01/08);
on my radio that displays relative signal strength: WNNZ-AM 640 near
Springfield, with its pattern aimed AWAY from me was up slightly;
right next to it, WSRO also up slightly; WFGL-AM 960 in Fitchburg,
also with a daytime array aimed AWAY from me...and then good, old
WKOX-AM 1200.  But something was slightly different:
WKOX-AM's boost appeared not to be just the increase from conditions...
it was stronger than AM 1150 (can their call-letters still be WWDJ?)
whereas since the move from Framingham to Oak Hill Pahk, WKOX had
been a skosh weaker.  As I drove in the Merimack Valley later, WKOX
seemed a little "louder", and there was some splatter on 1190 and 1210
(not signals from WLIB or WPHT).  We all know Clear Channel just had a
big General Managers confab in San Antone...did the folks hereabout get the
message "boost that sucker so we can sell it"?
