[B-R-I] WHAT!!! WNSH 2 = WESX!?!?!

[Dan.Strassberg]

Nope, WPEP had a LITTLE less than 250W (224W, if memory serves) from a
tower substantially taller than 1/4 wave (137 degrees, I believe). The
night RMS was more than the Class D night maximum of 141.85 mV/m @ 1
km. That bought WPEP Class B status and with it, nighttime protection
from co-channel stations (the most important of which, by far, would
have been CFAV). Dunno if the FCC waived the Class B requirement for
NIF coverage of at least 80% of the population of the CoL. Since the
tower was inside the Taunton city limits, such a waiver might not have
been necessary, however.

WPEP was a B? It had way less then 250 W at night from a mere 1/4 wave
tower.
