WROW/Albany format change protest

[Dan.Strassberg]

Problems nighttime don't surprise me. The NIF on 1200 is middling high
even with a couple of 1200's in the northeast dark. Daytime, I don't
understand. 1200 won't come in like 680--that's for sure, or even like
850, 590, 1060, or 1030, or for that matter, like 1510, which is
directional to the northeast all day (though not very directional
during non-critical hours). But on a decent radio, the 1200 signal
_ought_ to be listenable during most daylight hours. In Zip 01824
(Chelmsford), the V-Soft Web site gives it 1.76 mV/m by day, which
coincides quite well with what radio-locator.com's map says.
