At a guess, I'd say the number is probably 65% or less. The difference 
between an A and a B is much more dramatic than that between a B1 and a 
B - and it's exacerbated by WKAF's non-central transmitter site. And 
with WOKQ to contend with, as well as the 97.7 in southwest NH, there's 
really no wiggle room to move WKAF anywhere much more useful.

WBCN's 60 covers nearly everything within 495. WKAF's doesn't even get 
everything within 128.
